The Canadian Traffic Signal Warrant Matrix Procedure 2005 is designed to provide a basis for making rational, defensible decisions on the installation of traffic signal control devices at intersections. The new warrant procedure, which replaces the document entitled Canadian Traffic Signal Warrant Procedure (2003), is built on a foundation of existing practices, combined with relevant adjustment factors to minimize data collection requirements. It is intended to be easy to use, is supported by Canadian experience and is based on Canadian needs. The document includes revisions to the 2003 procedure as well as calculations of specific factors required to modify movement-by-movement cross-products such as pedestrian exposure factor, a right turn reduction factor and a platoon adjustment factor. The new document is supported by updated software to perform the matrix procedure calculations. The software is provided on a separate CD for the buyers of the hardcopy version of the Procedure.
