42 signalized intersections, 1 unsignalized intersection, and 2 roadway segments throughout the city. Systemic signal improvements: retro-reflective

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $290,000 through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP, CFDA 20.272) to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) on October 23, 2025. The award funds systemic safety improvements at 42 signalized intersections, 1 unsignalized intersection, and 2 roadway segments throughout an unnamed California city. Specific deliverables include installation of retro-reflective signal backplates, leading pedestrian intervals at signalized locations, protected left-turn phases at three signals, pedestrian crossing improvements at the unsignalized intersection, and roadway median and lighting enhancements.

The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2028. These improvements align with HSIP's core mission of achieving significant reductions in traffic fatalities and serious injuries through data-driven, performance-focused safety enhancements. The systemic approach—addressing multiple intersections and roadway segments in a coordinated manner—reflects contemporary best practices in intersection safety design, pedestrian protection, and roadway visibility improvements.

Project description
