Report
Summary
When large mast arm traffic signal poles are damaged, knocked down due to accidents or inclement weather, or inoperable, the Street Transportation Department uses 25-foot portable temporary traffic signal trailers. These trailers have adequate mast arm length to be positioned appropriately over the roadway for visibility to vehicles and pedestrian traffic. The purchase of temporary traffic signal sets on trailers will allow staff to create on-demand intersections. On-demand traffic intersection needs would include signaling needs during monsoon events or during special events requiring additional traffic signals for improved traffic flow.
