Centerlines, edgelines (or fog lines), stop bars and crosswalks are examples of standard traffic markings. Traffic Operations takes requests for new traffic signals. Traffic Operations also takes requests from the public concerning traffic safety. Typical issues are: run-off-road vehicles, recent traffic accidents, cocerns about certain roadway hazards, and visibility concerns. Treatment typically involves changes to signs and markings, or removal of legitimate visibility obstructions to address any traffic safety issues.
