Traffic signals and signs help control traffic to make intersections safer for all modes of transportation. The City of Tyler continually investigates signal and signage needs citywide, as well as installs temporary signs for special events as needed.
Traffic Operations has the responsibility to provide the safe and efficient movement of people and goods within the city limits by operating and maintaining traffic control devices in accordance with The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards and guidance.
Signal and Sign Technicians maintain 149 traffic signals and 80 flashing beacon warning lights, including school zones, protected crosswalks (pedestrian buttons and signals), and install and maintain more than 90,000 street signs within city limits including regulatory and street name signs.
