Decision-Making Guide for Traffic Signal Phasing

This guide documents and presents the results of a study of traffic signal phasing. The guide synthesizes existing best practices as well as new information from the accompanying research effort (NCHRP 03- 118). This guide covers right-turn, left turn, and pedestrian phasing mode and sequence concepts. Concept definitions and best practices are provided for right-turn and pedestrian phasing mode and sequence. For left-turn phasing, this guide summarizes the concepts / existing best practices and includes additional information from the accompanying research effort (NCHRP 03-118). The guide presents safety performance functions (SPFs) and crash modification factors (CMFs) for left-turn phasing modes as well as charts to determine the operational impact of each phase mode. A methodology for combining the effect of safety and operations of the various left-turn phase modes is also provided in this guide.
