High Bandwidth Traffic Signals Road signs and traffic signals provide vehicle operators with basic instructions regarding routing requirements, safety regulations and road conditions. It is critical to the safety of both drivers and pedestrians that such devices operate efficiently at all times. Traffic control devices are made visible at night by incorporating retroreflective components or separate illumination, allowing a viewer to determine their color, shape, text, and diagrams. Degradation of traffic signal performance can result from age, vandalism, accidents, blockage and a variety of other causes.
Ongoing effort is needed to ensure timely maintenance and replacement.
Damaged, stolen, or obsolete signs are commonly repaired via reports to civil authorities, but degraded visibility due to aging is frequently unreported and hence uncorrected. This can result in failure to recognize important road conditions and an attendant increase in driver reaction time. The result is more accidents and greater damage. Visibility and Conspicuity Consultants has the expertise to evaluate not only the basic design and placement of newly installed traffic devices, but the legibility and impact on response time of degraded signals.
