Request a new traffic signal or left turn arrow
If you believe an intersection in Wrenford is unsafe or too busy, you can ask for a new traffic signal or a left turn arrow. Our Traffic Signal Assessment Team reviews every request using a standard warrant study.
How the warrant study works
The team looks at traffic volumes, collision history, and pedestrian activity. They score the findings to decide if a signal is needed.
- 100 or higher: A traffic signal is warranted.
- 80 to 99: A signal is not warranted at this time. The intersection is placed on a watch list, and the study is repeated each year.
- 79 or lower: A signal is not warranted. We will not repeat the study for at least two years unless conditions change.
You can check to see if a warrant study has already been done at a specific intersection before submitting a request.
Left turn arrow requests
Left turn signals are installed only when turning vehicles are consistently delayed for one or two cycles, or when collision history shows a need. Adding a left turn arrow can sometimes add to congestion for through traffic, so the team carefully reviews each request.
Report a damaged or malfunctioning signal
If a traffic signal is broken, flashing when it shouldn't, or not working at all, please report it. Drivers must treat a flashing red light as a stop sign and a flashing amber light as a yield.
