Solving the problems of intersections is the crux of urban traffic. Installing traffic control signal reasonably can improve traffic capacity, reducing traffic conflicts. Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices stipulates the warrants of various signal, which are widely cited by other countries. Our country basically adopt American standard. However, the difference of traffic condition between china and America causes this warrant is limited greatly in concrete application, hence, this paper proceeds further study on traffic signal warrant according to our national condition. Aiming at unsignalized intersections with equal right-of-way which is widely used in China, the paper discusses a new traffic signal warrant for unsignalized intersections with equal right-of-way by analyzing the relationship of vehicle volume and delay. The new traffic signal warrant proposed by the paper enriches the traffic planning theory, not only the theoretical significance, but also the practical value in engineering.
