Traffic Signal Spacing Requirement
The desirable spacing of signalized intersections on statewide and regional highways is 1/2 mile. The STRE may approve the installation of a traffic signal at locations where 1/2-mile spacing is inappropriate or infeasible due to:
(1) Topography;
(2) Existing or proposed road layout;
(3) Identified traffic crash pattern;
(4) Unique physical constraints; or
(5) Existing or proposed land use patterns.
