Signal Operations
The Signals Operations team manages traffic signal timing for all municipal and state traffic signals—including flasher systems—for the Anchorage Bowl, Eagle River, and Girdwood. Most signals are connected to a centralized computer in the Traffic Department office. This allows operators to remotely check signal operation and download updated timing plans to controllers at each intersection. Signals typically run several different timing plans throughout the day to match routine traffic flow changes.
Signal Maintenance
The Signal Maintenance shop provides installation, maintenance, and construction support for traffic signal systems within the Municipality of Anchorage. Currently, 277 signalized intersections are being maintained. The shop also provides technical support to the Alaska Department of Transportation for maintenance of traffic signal systems on the Kenai Peninsula and in the Matanuska–Susitna Valley.
