CMF / CRF Details

CMF ID: 1405

Provide split phases

Description: The regular 2 phases of a cycle are split into three phases. Pedestrians receive a "walk" display while the parallel traffic that would normally turn left or right through the crosswalk is held with a left or right red arrow signal and the through movement proceeds on a green signal. After the pedestrian crossing is completed, a red "steady hand" is displayed and the turns are then made on a green arrow signal while the through movement continues to move. Split phase requires dedicated turn lanes since through and turning movements are governed by different signal indications.
