Traffic Signals

This document discusses different types of traffic signaling, including horizontal, vertical, and light signaling. Horizontal signaling involves pavement markings like lines and arrows that guide traffic flow. Vertical signaling uses signs located in a vertical plane to inform road users and regulate traffic. Light signaling refers to traffic lights that control traffic and mark road work or obstacles. Traffic signaling aims to safely monitor and manage traffic flows according to designed regimes.

TRAFFIC SIGNALS

Security signaling includes means and devices that ensure the monitoring, control and management of
traffic flows (pavement marking, traffic signs with permanent and variable contents, light signaling)
and enabled the realization of the designed traffic flow regime.
The basic provisions on traffic signaling formulas are correct for traffic signaling, in which it is
specifically defined to prescribe the types of meaning, form, color, measures, materials for making
traffic signs and rules for placing traffic signals on roads.
Traffic signaling can be: horizontal, vertical, light signaling.

HORIZONTAL SIGNALING
Horizontal signaling (HS) can be defined as a set of specially shaped geometric elements (lines,
figures and fields) and inscriptions, whose combinations (during design) and installation (on the
pavement) form marks. HS exists on other (traffic) surfaces: sidewalks, communications outside
garages and parking lots, airport runways and platforms, etc. It is an opportunity to point out the
difference between the term element and the term designation in HS.
A mark is what is derived on a pavement or other surface, by use some material and proper installation
procedure. From a design standpoint, labels consist of elements that are most commonly prescribed by
national standards. In this sense, an element, such as a line, figure or arrow, is the smallest "structure"
defined and prescribed by a national standard. it defines, divides or channels in some way. Such
surfaces, besides the mentioned ones, exist in factory halls, warehouses, on various manipulative
surfaces, in ports, on sports fields, etc.

Classification of horizontal signaling


The basic division of horizontal signaling comes from the purpose of the markings. This division is
conditioned by the location of the markings in relation to the symmetry of the road or street pavement.
So there are: longitudinal marks, cross marks, other labels.
The group of longitudinal markers includes different types of lines: dividing lines, edge lines,
guiding lines, etc.
The group of cross marks includes stop lines (this is often referred to as the "stop" line), pedestrian
crossings, crossings of cycle paths, slopes, border crossings, etc.
Other tags include arrows, signs, boxes and routing lines, parking tags, etc.
HS is often divided according to the different properties it possesses (durability, light reflectance, etc.).
This division is conditioned by the characteristics and properties of the materials used for installation,
or by the characteristics of the installation process itself.

VERTIKAL SIGNALING
Vertical signaling can be defined as a set of specially coded tags intended for road users, which are
located in a vertical plane with respect to traffic surfaces. The set of markings thus formed was
presented to traffic participants by means of different traffic signs. Their primary purpose stemmed
from the need to manage movement around the network. In other words, traffic signs can be treated as
one of the technical means for regulating and managing traffic flows.
In other words, it allows movement to be channeled and routed to a predefined traffic mode, that is, to
define and implement dynamic, pedestrian and stationary traffic modes in practice. On the other hand,
certain groups of traffic signs make it possible to navigate online, which is especially important in
major cities and so-called. "open road sections". Vertical signaling thus applied enables efficient
management of traffic flows to destinations and destinations
movement.
Division of vertical signaling
Vertical signaling can be classified or divided in several ways, depending on the characteristics we
observe. Most often, the vertical signaling1 is divided according to the function of the signs, their
meaning, the degree of standardization and the way they are made, as well as the continuity of
information on the signs.

LIGHT SIGNALING – SEMAPHORES


Light signaling devices - traffic lights, are part of traffic signaling.
They are used to regulate traffic and mark works and obstacles on the road. Semaphores can be
divided into several groups:……………
