National Standards for Traffic Control Devices the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways Revision Final Rule Target Compliance Dates Established by the FHWA Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Retroreflective Sheeting Identification Guide Narrated Explaination of the Minimum Rflective Numbers. New Traffic Sign Maintenance Retroreflective Requirements

Stop signs (white on red) have a minimum contrast ratio of ≥ 3:1 (white reflectivity ÷ red reflectivity) (older stop signs-especially south-facing signs-are at risk of noncompliance due to ink fading).

Regulatory signs (black on white) must retain a minimum retroreflectivity level of ≥ 50 cd/lx/m 2 (while use of Type I sheeting-with an initial retroreflectivity value of 70 cd/lx/m 2-is allowed, sign life will be short and may result in poor life cycle value).

Warning signs (black on yellow or orange) cannot bemade from Type I sheeting.

White copy on ground mounted street name signs cannot be made from Type I sheeting.

White copy on overhead guide signs must be made from prismatic sheeting.

Any equipment faults are recognised by the site computer and, via a modem and normal telephone line, are reported to a central computer in the maintenance office.Summary of the Minimum Maintained Retroreflectivity Levels Table By installing a small computer on site, the operations of the equipment are carefully monitored. This system is used for the monitoring of non-Urban Traffic Control (UTC) traffic signal installations. This ensures that pedestrian and vehicle delays are kept to a minimum at all times. The stage lengths, the linking between adjacent installations and the cycle time can all change every few minutes, in response to traffic needs. The SCOOT system collects information from vehicle detectors about the actual vehicle flows within the system, and then recalculates plans for each signal installation based on the current traffic situation. This is a variation of the Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system. Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique (SCOOT). An additional benefit of this system is the ability to provide "Green Wave Routes" for emergency vehicles wishing to travel quickly to a particular place. This makes it possible to link adjacent sets of traffic signals in order to 'platoon' vehicles through a whole area.

The UTC system is able to make the signal equipment operate in accordance with predefined fixed time plans.

This system allows the operation of signal equipment to be monitored (checking signal timings and reporting equipment faults) and controlled. Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systemĪt present, 76 road junctions and 75 pedestrian crossing facilities are connected to the UTC system. Please report the location of the signals (by road name) and describe, as far as possible, the nature of the fault or problem. You can report all faults at traffic signals and signal controlled pedestrian crossings in Brighton & Hove by: This ensures, as far as possible, that the traffic signals are operating correctly and that most faults are automatically recognised and reported to our maintenance contractors as soon as possible. The traffic signals team monitors and/or controls the operation of these signal installations using the Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system, SCOOT or the Remote Monitoring System (RMS). The council monitors and controls the operation of these signals and most faults are automatically recognised and reported to our maintenance contractors as soon as possible. There are approximately 81 traffic signal junctions and 89 signal controlled pedestrian crossing facilities that are managed and maintained in the Brighton & Hove area. Traffic signals and signal controlled pedestrian crossings are provided to improve the safety and progression of all road users including pedestrians, cyclists, buses and other vehicles.
