Summary: | The Traffic Signal Construction and Inspection course was created to address the fact that signal projects must comply with the applicable traffic signal construction documents (specifications, plans, standard drawings, etc.). Inferior work on signals or inadequate traffic management during project construction can create potentially dangerous conditions with liability impacts for local agencies. The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to traffic signal construction and inspection issues, including a discussion of important reference documents and technical certifications for traffic signal inspections.
This course is a pilot course and only one-day in length. The breadth of this topic cannot be fully addressed in a single day. The course will be converted into an e-learning course that will include details based on the input from the attendees of this pilot course.
