Analyses were also conducted to investigate the feasibility of incorportating heavy vehicle factors into the warranting analysis procedure. Other considerations that were addressed include accident severity and exceptions to the warrants similar to the emergency-traffic signal. The project developed guidelines for conducting traffic signal warrant analyses. Adoption of the language that makes up the warrants.
