HSIP Traffic Signal Improvements Project (T15265100)

The City of Sacramento is preparing to enhance traffic safety at 17 signalized intersections by upgrading existing signal heads and installing new ones, with all units being retrofitted with retro-reflective tape to significantly improve visibility for drivers, especially during low-light conditions. The project focuses solely on hardware improvements to the signal equipment itself and does not involve replacing signal poles or major structural changes. While the work may include minor trenching for conduit installation and traffic loop wiring, these elements are secondary and will be addressed only as needed to support the primary objective of signal head enhancement. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize traffic control infrastructure and increase intersection safety, aligning with highway safety improvement goals. The project is forecasted with a posting date of August 4, 2026, and is being managed by the City of Sacramento’s transportation division, with primary contacts including Senior Planner Charles Tschudin and Assistant Civil Engineer Nick Ahantab. All work will be performed within the city limits of Sacramento, California, with no additional funding or set-aside details currently specified.
