CMF / CRF Details
CMF ID: 8973
Implement systemic signing and visibility improvements at signalized intersections
Description: Replace all signal heads. Replace pedestrian signal heads, pushbuttons, and signs. Install backplates with retroreflective borders on all signal heads. Re-stripe stop lines. Re-stripe crosswalks. Install advance warning signs. Install overhead signs (e.g., R10‐12, R3‐5L, R3‐5R in the MUTCD(4)). Install curb ramps.
Prior Condition: Signalized intersection without systemic signing and visibility improvements
Category: Intersection traffic control
