Bill > A3901

Introduced Session

This bill amends the "Congestion Relief and Transportation Trust Fund Renewal Act" to require the Commissioner of Transportation (commissioner) to establish and implement a program to employ adaptive traffic signal technology, or the best available traffic signal technology, at certain intersections of roads and highways that are maintained by the Department of Transportation (department) and meet the traffic threshold established by the department pursuant to the bill. The bill requires the department to develop a traffic threshold for intersections of roads and highways based on the volume and speed of through traffic. Meeting the traffic threshold would signify that the intersection qualifies for the employment of adaptive traffic signal technology, or the best available traffic signal technology, under the program. Once an intersection meets the traffic threshold, adaptive traffic signal technology, or the best available traffic signal technology, would be required to be installed at the intersection during inspection, servicing, or replacement of the traffic signals. The bill also requires that the commissioner consider practicality, financial feasibility, and the danger or limits on pedestrian travel when employing the technology at intersections.
