Update the yellow, red, and pedestrian clearance intervals at approximately 604 municipally-owned traffic signals in districts 2 and 3 (CN).

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) $230,263 on June 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to update yellow, red, and pedestrian clearance intervals at approximately 604 municipally-owned traffic signals located in Districts 2 and 3 of Connecticut. This project represents a targeted traffic safety improvement initiative designed to enhance intersection operations and pedestrian safety across the municipal signal network. The work is scheduled for completion by May 4, 2030.

The project deliverables consist of updates to signal timing parameters—specifically yellow clearance intervals, all-red clearance intervals, and pedestrian clearance intervals—across the identified traffic signal inventory. These technical modifications are fundamental safety improvements that optimize intersection clearance times to reflect current traffic conditions and pedestrian movement patterns, thereby reducing the risk of intersection conflicts and enhancing overall traffic flow efficiency. As a formula grant award under the Federal-aid Highway Program, this project was selected through Connecticut's established transportation planning processes and aligns with the program's emphasis on highway safety activities and traffic control improvements eligible for federal funding.
