Engineer:       Phone Number:

The purpose of this checklist is to offer comments on plan design for construction of traffic signals within public right-of-way.  Source of traffic signal and related construction in the public right-of-way design policy are the latest version of City of Phoenix Specifications and Details, MAG, AASHTO, MUTCD, and City of Phoenix Traffic Signal standards (Design Procedure Manual)

This checklist serves to minimize redline comments on the check prints and to maintain consistency of the plan review process for traffic signal and related construction in the public right-of-way.  Plan approval, and issuing permits depend on the compliance with the comments made on the check prints and this checklist.  The engineer of record shall satisfy themselves of the completeness and accuracy of the design.

Please return this checklist and the check prints with your next submittal.  Discussion of redlines comments on plans or this checklist should be directed to the plan reviewer listed above.

Plan approvals are valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of the approval signature or as otherwise specified by the Street Transportation Signal Section

 

The following symbols are used to identify changes needed to the plans.
