Supporting Peoria's Future Traffic Signal Projects
With a population of about 206,000, Peoria, Arizona, is one of the state’s larger, growing cities. With more than 1,700 miles of roadways, there is a significant amount of traffic infrastructure needed to support smooth travel. To achieve this, Peoria has continued to invest in its broader traffic network, including smart signal technology and connected systems designed to improve flow in high-traffic areas.
That commitment to long-term planning also shaped the city’s approach to traffic signal pole design for future intersection projects. Rather than starting from scratch each time, the City of Peoria worked with Clark Transportation Solutions to create a consistent, approved set of pole designs the city could use again and again.
Working with the city engineer, Clark Transportation Solutions gathered the loading parameters Peoria wanted to use across its traffic signal structures and coordinated with its partners at Valmont to put a plan into motion. From there, Valmont’s engineering team developed pole and mast arm designs, and the drafting team translated that work into a complete traffic signal standard package for city review and approval.
The result was a full, pre-approved framework for future projects. In practical terms, it means the city now has an established family of designs that can simplify planning, ordering, and project delivery, rather than requiring a new design approach for each intersection. A key advantage is a mast arm approach built around a common base section. That allows the city to stock fewer pole variations while still supporting different project needs. It also incorporates Valmont’s TR-1 mitigation device, which helps reduce mast arm movement and supports long-term performance. Together, the updated designs give Peoria a more efficient framework, paving the way for faster travel from need to installation.
By combining its engineering expertise with a customer-focused approach, Valmont’s traffic standard solution conserves resources as Peoria works to improve life for its growing community.
