76
These refers to any power operated traffic control device by which traffic is warned or directed to take some specific actions.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
77
Are used to control traffic at junctions and also to stop traffic to privide safe crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists.
TRAFFIC LIGHT SIGNALS
78
The idea for developing traffic signals began in the 1800’s, and on December 10, 1868 the first gas-lit traffic lights were installed outside the Houses of Parliament in London. This model was proposed by a British railway engineer _____.
J.P KNIGHT
79
Was on obvious choice for “Stop.” It had always represented danger.
RED
80
Through “give the green light” has become the proverbial permissive signal in many situation, green was not the original choice for “Go”. _____ first indicated that the railroad was safe and that the train could proceed without danger.
WHITE
81
Two “lights” were to control the running of trains-white for “go” and red for “stop.” It was then realized that safety would be served better still by introducing a cautionary light to warn the driver of an imminent change. Its color once again was to be determined by considerations of contrast, distinctiveness and visibility. The eventual choice was _____.
GREEN
82
After all, was a “natural” color. It was the hue of all foliage and growing things. Man knew it so well environmentally that it spelled out to him life, safety and normality. Like the green sap in a plant, it was symbolic of motion, drive, and vitality. Therefore, from the very beginning, it should have been the obvious color for signaling permission to proceed.
GREEN
83
All that was needed now was to find a replacement color to “caution” drivers. The (second and final) choice is _____.
YELLOW-AMBER
84
That is how green, yellow, and red became the standard combination of colors for railroad signals. The New York, New Havens, and Hartford Railroad, USA, was the first to introduce them in _____.
1899
85
One of the world’s first electric traffic lights was developed in 1912 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA by _____, a detective on the city police force.
LESTER WIRE
86
In _____, new York City put up the first automatic (three-colored) lights.
1918
87
These are signal lights designed primarily to control and regulate traffic flows.
TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS
88
These signal lights provide regulation for pedestrians like “WALK” and “DO NOT WALK signal Lights.
SPECIAL PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS
89
These are usually installed on road-rail in intersections designed to inform motorist of an approaching train on the intersection.
TRAIN APPROACH AND GATE SIGNALS
90
These are installed on traffic ways where special regulations are emphasized like “YIELD TO VEHICLES COMING FROM THE LEFT”, and other similar regulations.
OTHER SPECIAL TRAFFIC SIGNALS
91
A traffic control signal by which traffic is alternately commanded to stop and permitted to proceed in accordance with predetermined time schedule. This is the most widely used system of traffic signaling. The duration of the green light remains constant and is set to favor traffic on the main roadway. Amin-road traffic is halted periodically to permit the side-road traffic to cross the intersection for a short fixed time before the signal again favors traffic on the main road.
THE FIXED-TIME SYSTEM
92
The cycle lengths of the signal changes are determined by systematic studies of traffic flow and pedestrian needs. Such cycle lengths can be set to vary during the day to accommodate changing traffic patterns. Traffic-activated controllers can also be used. These vary the length of the green light on a street according to changes in traffic demand.
THE FIXED-TIME SYSTEM
93
These are used on major arteries of number of cities. Signals at successive intersections along the artery are timed to change from red to green at staggered intervals. Permitting a vehicle that maintains a constant speed to proceed without interruption under normal circumstances.
PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM
94
Signal changes are ordered by the demands of traffic and are directed by computers that operate on the basis of traffic information relayed from vehicle sensors on the streets. In this system, traffic detectors are placed at several locations-generally in the pavement. A computer then selects the best timing for each signal to reduce traffic congestion and minimize delays.
COMPUTERIZED CONTROL OF SIGNAL NETWORKS
95
Can sense and respond to traffic because of a wire loop embedded in the road. Electric current, run through the loop, creates a magnetic field. When can interferes with this field, a signal is sent to a roadside traffic computer. The computers monitor traffic flows, coordinating a light change as soon as it is safe.
COMPUTERIZED TRAFFIC LIGHTS "SMART" TRAFFIC
96
To attain more effective and efficient controlling of traffic, each color of the traffic light has specific meaning and traffic regulation.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS
97
a. STOP at the designated line.
b. Vehicles will be crossing from the “other side”

TRAFFIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT
105
Supervision of the movement of people, goods, or vehicles to ensure efficiency and safety. Generally, it refers to procedures, devices, and communication system that help vehicles and vessels safely share the same roads, rails, waterways, or air space. Traffic control establishes a set of rules and instructions that drivers, pilots, train engineers, and ship captains rely on to avoid collisions and other hazards.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
106
Involves directing vehicular and pedestrian traffic around a construction zone, accident or other road disruption, thus ensuring the safety of emergency response teams, construction workers and the general public.
ROAD TRAFFIC CONTROL
107
A system of traffic engineering, employing prescribed traffic rules and regulations and devices such as signals, and markings, to relieve vehicular congestion and air pollution, and to promote safety and pedestrian mobility, usually in heavily populated urban areas. In smaller towns, with lighter traffic, similar but simpler control devices and engineering techniques are used.
TRAFFIC CONTROL AS APPLIED TO LAND TRANSPORTATION
108

TRAFFIC SIGNAL
121
It is one of the oldest methods of traffic control, one from of transportation is given priority by restricting or banning other forms of transportation. In the 1st century BC, Roman Emperor Julius Caesar banned wheel traffic from Rome During daytime, which allowed pedestrians and horse riders to move freely around the city. Some modern cities ban or restrict truck travel through certain neighborhoods.
PRIORITY CONTROL
122
As an alternative to banning traffic, traffic control planners use devices to discourage heavy use of route. Island built in the centers of intersections force drivers to proceed slowly. Speed bumps discourage high-speed commuting through residential neighborhoods. Concrete median strips prevent vehicles from making turns except at intersections.
TRAFFIC RESTRAINTS
123
The pavement of all main highways have certain markings to help you to drive safely. Those include the center lane lines, barriers lines, and directional arrows, depending upon the type of highways and the needs for such markings to make the road safe under varying conditions.
PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND MARKERS
124
They are in the form of lines, symbols, messages, or numerals, and may be set into the surface of, applied upon, or attached to the pavement. In some cases, pavement markings are used as a supplement to other traffic control devices, such as traffic signals and road signs.
