• representatives of any other department that provide a service or w ho may be affected by traffic signals. The traffic signal committee w ould be responsible for overseeing the traffic signal division and to ensure that traffic signals are installed and maintained w ith the highest level of proficiency and responsibility. The committee may also assist with funding and budget control. The committee w ould also be utilised as a liaison point betw een the Municipal Police and Roads and Transport departments w here “problem areas” or missing traffic signals are reported and progress on replacement of signals is given. The committee should also review the geometric designs of all new road and junction proposals in order to ensure adequate provision is made for possible future signalisation. Skills and Manpower Requirements Traffic signal systems have become highly complex and intricate, requiring increasingly w ider and more specialised skills of personnel involved w ith such systems. The complexity can be expected to evolve even more in the future, w hich will further increase the required skill levels. Such skill levels can more easily be provided w hen different road authorities co-operate institutionally, providing an integrated signalisation service. A traffic signal division should preferably comprise of traffic- and electrical related staff, i.e. : • Professional Traffic Engineers / Technologists; • Professional Electrical Engineers / Technologists; • Qualified electricians; • Electronic technicians; • Line w orkers; • Worker assistants; and • Administrative staff. Tasks of the Traffic Signal Division Traffic Engineering Tasks: • overall management of the traffic signal division, including budget control and reporting; • traffic data collection, including traffic volumes, speeds, saturation flow s, accident rates, etc.; • conceptual design and layout of signalised junctions; • design of traffic signal layouts, timings, phasing, and the co-ordination of traffic signals; • warrant studies for the installation of new traffic signals; • prioritisation of new installations and upgrading of existing installations; • investigations into new traffic signal control systems; • development of methods, procedures and standards. Electrical- and Electronic Engineering Tasks: • management, supervision and control of all aspects related to the electrical and electronic side of traffic signals; • management and control of personnel, material, spares and tools; SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 136 31 Aug 2010
• keeping of records of all activities and inventory controls; • budgeting for new installations, maintenance and repair as w ell as controlling such budgets; • installation, maintenance and repair of all traffic signal equipment, including controllers and computers; • planning and scheduling of traffic signal installation, upgrading, modification, maintenance and repair; • management, supervision and control of installation and maintenance contracts undertaken by private contractors; • inspection of installations during various stages of completion and final acceptance on contract completion; • investigations into new developments in the discipline of signalisation; • providing advice to traffic engineers on the capabilities and limitations of traffic signal equipment; • planning and implementing maintenance and upgrading programmes. Developing procedures for the establishment of maintenance and upgrading priorities; • training of personnel in all electrical and electronic related aspects of traffic signals; • appearing as expert w itnesses in litigation involving the electrical and electronic aspects regarding operation and maintenance of traffic signals. New Signals Installations and Removals All of the follow ing steps are to be part of the installation process: • candidate site identification; • warrant study; • signal design; • signal installation; and • commissioning. The follow ing procedure should be follow ed w hen removing traffic signals: • information is to be provided to the public for 2 weeks prior to the removal procedure commencing; • signals are to be placed in a flashing mode for 1 or 2 days; • implement new form of control and mask traffic signals for a period of at least 7 days; • undertake a w arrant study during this stage to re-confirm the removal process; and • remove traffic signals w ith any road and information signs. Maintenance Actions Although to a certain extent obvious, it is prudent to re-visit the consequences of maintenance deficiencies as it is listed in the South African Road Signs Manual: • the cost-effectiveness of good signal maintenance is beyond question. The traffic safety implications of malfunctioning traffic signals alone can justify the cost of keeping signals in proper w orking order; • the possibility of liability judgements against a road authority is also an important consideration in signal maintenance. Proper maintenance of traffic signals is of vital importance if liability is to be minimised; SDM DITP, 2008 to 2013 137 31 Aug 2010
