The report provides a comprehensive review of signal installations and their impacts on accident patterns, and accident frequency and severity. It contains information on accident statistics by type and severity, accident rates for stop controlled and signalized intersections, accident patterns on arterials, and accident statistics for different signal types. Pedestrian safety due to signal installation is also addressed. The report documents factors affected by signal installations such as intersection capacity, vehicular delays, and vehicular fuel consumptions. The economics of installing signals is addressed, and a summary of international experience with signal installation is provided. A work plan for further research needed in this area is documented.
