Inhaltsverzeichnis (PDF)

Traffic signals are installed in order to improve road safety and traffic flow. Signal control plays a critical role in how traffic develops in transport networks, on stretches of road and at intersections. It is thus an important tool in a comprehensive traffic management plan, in which measures to reduce public transport journey times, manage pedestrian and cycle traffic safely and concentrate streams of vehicular traffic on certain routes all intermesh. So guidelines for traffic signals are important to incorporate fundamental traffic control provisions and recommendations for setting up and operating traffic signals, and they reflect the state of the art at the time of publication.

The German „RiLSA“ (Guidelines for Traffic Signals), developed by the German Road and Transportation Research Association (FGSV) have a long tradition and the newest edition (the 2015 edition) was translated into the English language. This 2021 translation is now available as a cost-free download. The guidelines include chapters treating the fundamentals, the signal program design, the interrelationships between traffic signal control and the design of road facilities, control methods, special forms of signalisation, the technical design, technical acceptance and operation and last but not least the quality management for traffic signals.
