PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The traffic Signal Timing project is a collaborative partnership between the RTC, Cities of Reno and Sparks, and the UNR Center for Advanced Transportation Education and Research. The goal of the project is to continue the re-timing of 1/3 of the signals each year and to expand signal timing plans to include weekends, holidays and special event plans, if possible. The schedule of work for a typical corridor consists of the following:

  • Collect traffic and signal data
  • Input timings into model and evaluate existing signal timing
  • Develop new timing and implement in the field
  • Fine-tune timing, and conducting before-after studies

This project will provide signal re-timing engineering services for a 3-year cycle beginning in July, 2023 and concluding in June 2026.

LATEST NEWS
The team has implemented new signal timing along West McCarran Boulevard between West 4th Street and Sierra Highlands Drive. The team is now working on collecting data and developing new signal timing plans for the following corridors:

  • Sparks (Prater Way to Los Altos Parkway)
  • Vista Boulevard (Prater Way to Los Altos Parkway)
