Current through Reigster Vol. 28, No. 6, December 1, 2024
Section 5.13 - SIGNAL DESIGN

Signal design required for an entrance or offsite improvements within the right-of-way shall be performed by DelDOT's Traffic Section, their representatives or developer's representatives. Construction of pole foundations, channelizing islands, conduits, etc. shall be performed by the developer's contractor. DelDOT's on-call electrical/traffic contractor shall install the proposed signal poles, traffic signal heads, pedestrian signals, cabling and associated equipment.

Prior to beginning signal design, the engineer shall provide a copy of the approved signal justification study to DelDOT's Traffic Section for review and approval. Prior to beginning signal design, additional survey may be needed to depict all below and above ground signal equipment. Once the project's geometric, drainage, stormwater and utility designs have been developed to a point that DelDOT finds the design satisfactory and feels that no major changes are anticipated, the engineer will be asked to forward electronic files of base survey and proposed improvements in CADD format to DelDOT's Traffic Section to begin signal design.

The Traffic Section will coordinate with the local utility company as needed and complete the signal design. Close coordination between the engineer and DelDOT Traffic Section during this stage is required to efficiently complete the signal design and incorporate the signal plans into the project's design.

Once the signal plans are completed and signed by DelDOT, the Traffic Section will distribute electronic files to the site engineer to incorporate the signal plans into the project's plan set prior to DelDOT issuing plan set approval. The developer shall make a fair share contribution towards the signal design and construction costs based on DelDOT Traffic Section's estimate.
