The Traffic Signal Risk Evaluation Method is a strategic approach designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with traffic light systems. The tool provides a structured framework for evaluating the safety and operational risks posed by traffic signals at intersections, offering insights for improvements in road safety and traffic flow.

This tool involves several steps to quantify and prioritize risks. Below is an overview of its key components:

  • Identification of risk factors related to signal failure or malfunction.
  • Assessment of the potential impact of these risks on traffic flow and accident rates.
  • Prioritization of risks based on severity and likelihood.

The table below summarizes the primary risk categories evaluated in the process:

Risk Category Impact Likelihood Severity
Signal Malfunction High Medium High
Visibility Issues Medium High Medium
Improper Timing Medium Low High

Important: A detailed risk assessment can help authorities determine which intersections need immediate intervention to prevent accidents and improve safety for drivers and pedestrians.
