Issaquah's Signals

The City currently has 45 traffic signals. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) also owns, operates and maintains 10 additional traffic signals within the Issaquah's city limits.

Through the use of an Intelligent Transportation System, City of Issaquah engineers can remotely monitor, operate and manage the City's traffic signals in coordination with WSDOT. View our traffic cams online.

Criteria for New Signals

Standard guidelines for when traffic signals are installed are published by the Federal Highway Administration in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

How Signals Work

Vehicle detectors are typically installed in the pavement near an intersection, which allow the signal controller to know when a vehicle is waiting at an intersection. Signal timing and coordination is performed through an Intelligent Transportation System.
