Traffic Signals

Project No.:  RDCW19
Project limits:  Countywide
Current phase: Ongoing Project
Project type:  Safety
Thomas Bros. Map No.:  n/a

Project description

This project will provide funding for future traffic signals, roundabouts, signal interconnect systems, and minor modifications to existing traffic signals. Some traffic signalized intersections will require widening for turn channelization to optimize signal operations and traffic flow. Future traffic signals, and any modifications to existing signals, will use the most modern and reliable equipment and techniques for pedestrian and motorist safety, and for efficient movement of traffic.

Why is King County doing this project?

Area growth will require future traffic signals and roundabouts to be installed for public safety and transportation efficiency. The precise location isn't accurately predictable. Future traffic counts and accident records will be used to prioritize specific locations in future years. This project reserves funds for operational improvements via future signals and roundabouts.

 
Status as of November 19, 2009

Ongoing; 2008 and 2009 continued focus on safety and preservation of older signals and flashers
