Property timed signals save gas by keeping traffic moving smoothly. All the elements of signal timing, from policy and funding considerations to timing plan development, assessment, and maintenance are covered. The manual is the culmination of research into practices across North America and serves as a reference for a range of practitioners, including traffic engineers, signal technicians, design engineers, teachers, and university students.

What is LTAP?
Local Technical Assistance Program
(LTAP) was established in 1981 as the Rural Technical Assistance
Program (RTAP). It is the primary way that the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) helps local transportation
agencies learn about maintaining and improving their roads,
innovative methods and materials and ways to work smarter.
LTAP strives to bridge the gap between
research and practice by conducting training sessions and
demonstrations and by serving as a clearinghouse for information
related to state-of-the-art technology in the construction
and maintenance of roads and bridges.
Colorado
LTAP is sponsored by The Federal Highway Administration,
Colorado Department of Transportation and University of Colorado at Boulder
