Are traffic signals considered to manage truck traffic related to gas wells?
A traffic signal can only be installed when warranted per criteria established in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Traffic associated with gas well development is speculative in nature and dependent upon variables such as the number of wells in production, the stage of production, etc. Additionally, the safety concerns associated with trucks used for gas well operations are not different than those associated with other heavy trucks (e.g., construction, delivery, moving vans, etc.).
