Introduction
Public Works staff operates and maintains the
City's modern traffic signal system with the goal of
Safe and Efficient Movement of People and Goods
Currently, there are:
145 Traffic Signals within Newport Beach
City directly operates 123 Traffic Signals
Shared operation of 22 Traffic Signals with neighboring
agencies

❖Traffic Signal Response/Repair
Response to Traffic Signal Outages
Traffic Signal Timing Methods
Fixed Time
Time is fixed for each movement regardless of user demand
Free
Intersections operate individually based on user demand
Synchronized/Coordinated
Intersections operate together to improve the flow of traffic along
the major roadway — Based on preset timing plans
Advanced — "Adaptive" and "Responsive"
Intersection coordination is fine-tuned automatically by signal
system allowing for dynamic changes based on traffic demand

Signal Technologi-The Early Times
The first traffic signals were installed at
critical intersections to better control
the movement of vehicles
Operated Independently
Ran on a fixed Timer
No Detection of vehicles
Not Coordinated with Other Signals
Technology - Re's and 90's
Early computerized traffic signal systems
arrived in 1980's allowing for additional traffic
signal functionality and connectivity
Multiple timing plans
Coordination with other signals
Vehicle detection
"Central" monitoring
Pedestrian and Bicycle timing
