The desirable spacing of signalized intersections on statewide and regional highways is 1/2 mile. The STRE may approve the installation of a traffic signal at locations where 1/2-mile spacing is inappropriate or infeasible due to:

1. (1) Topography;
2. (2) Existing or proposed road layout;
3. (3) Identified traffic crash pattern;
4. (4) Unique physical constraints; or
5. (5) Existing or proposed land use patterns.
