High visibility signal backplates (HVSB) systemic improvements - signal controlled

This $500,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction (CFDA 20.205) program will fund preliminary engineering work by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to enhance transportation safety and mobility in various locations in Richmond, Virginia.

The key project components include:

• Installing flashing yellow arrow signal heads at 891 signalized intersections
• Installing 772 high visibility signal backplates at 277 signal-controlled intersections
• Installing 338 high visibility crosswalks at 131 signal-controlled intersections

The City of Richmond will serve as a sub-grantee to carry out the signal and crosswalk improvements within the city. This federal grant award aims to improve traffic signal visibility and pedestrian safety through these systemic infrastructure upgrades across Richmond.
