The report, Guidelines for Determining Traffic Signal Change and Clearance Intervals, presents the current state-of-the-practice and provides the user with a broad overview of key considerations to determine yellow change and red clearance intervals for traffic signals and their application. This report is published as an ITE proposed recommended practice. ITE's intent for the proposed recommended practices to reflect a thoughtful balance between sound engineering theory and practical application. The underlying assumptions presented in the report should yield reasonable times for the yellow change and red clearance intervals for traffic signals that allow the profession to balance those durations while enhancing intersection safety and maintaining reasonable traffic flow. The report describes the sources of methods and values presented in the proposed recommended practice to address the goal of the engineering profession to determine the ideal duration of yellow change and red clearance intervals that raises intersection safety while retaining a high level of operational efficiency.
