TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS: THE CONTROVERSY THAT NEVER ENDS

This article gives a brief history of traffic signal warrants, then discusses the controversy that surrounds them. Two new warrants developed by the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation are also discussed and it is pointed out that they still retain most of the shortcomings of the current warrants. The reader is cautioned not to brush aside the perfectly legitimate questions citizens are raising with their highway departments concerning traffic signal warrants.
