Warrant Analysis:
XXX County performed a warrant analysis on this intersection with no warrants being met. However, Warrant #5 may apply at this location. A traffic signal installed at this location could provide proper grouping of vehicles and could effectively regulate group speed. Warrant 5 states that “progressive movement control sometimes necessitates traffic signal installations at intersections where they would not otherwise be warranted.”
Recommendations:
It is recommended that a signal permit be issued to XXX County for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of SR000 @ City Street A. It is recommended that the County purchase all needed equipment for the installation. XXX County will install and maintain the signal. (if applicable).

--Designer’s Review--
Highway systems verification needs to be accounted for during the Plan Development Process. There are two cases that require state highway system administrative action before a project can proceed:
Case I- Proposed New Alignments
The project scope will involve a roadway being constructed on new location or there is a horizontal realignment of an existing State Route.
Case II- Temporary State Route Establishment For
ROW Acquisition
The Department is participating in preconstruction activities apart from the existing State System thereby requiring the establishment of a temporary state route to facilitate the purchase of right-of-way.
Federal-aid Eligibility On Projects
Projects (other than Bridge and Safety) utilizing Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds must be functionally classified higher than a local road in urban areas and higher than a minor collector in rural areas. The functional classification of a road upon which STP-funds are being expensed can be viewed by accessing route information in the Road Characteristics File or by viewing the Highway Systems Status maps located on the Department’s external website: http://www.dot.state.ga.us/dot/plan-prog/transportation_data/function_class_maps/index.shtml. National Highway System (NHS) information can be obtained by going to http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/nhs/.
