Overview
The Traffic Signal Operations Self Assessment is a tool to allow agencies to compare themselves with a composite of traffic signal operations best practices from agencies around the United States. Responses to the 2011 Traffic Signal Operations Self Assessment that were received by March 7, 2012 were included in the 3rd National Traffic Signal Report Card. However, this assessment can be used at any time to grade the performance of your system. The self assessment has been updated and improved to reflect comments received on previous versions, at a stakeholder workshop and from a technical advisory committee. The results of the self assessment will provide for some comparison to the results of the previous version, both for individual agencies and at the National level. The self assessment is not intended to suggest that all practices must or will be used in all cases. It is designed to serve as a tool to identify areas of strength and areas with opportunity for improvement in traffic signal system operation. It is expected that the Traffic Signal Operations Self Assessment and National Traffic Signal Report Card will continue to be released periodically.
