Abstract

Various warrants for the installation of traffic signals are presented in the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways." These requirements are listed in eight categories. However, only the warrants for minimum vehicular volumes, interruption of continuous traffic, and minimum pedestrian volume are described by numerical values. Because warrants that are based on vehicular and/or pedestrian volumes should be continuous to account for the composite interactions of intersecting traffic flows over time, this study was performed to translate the discrete numerical limits into continuous warrants for implementation.
