I. FORWARD
These guidelines establish uniform procedures for the design of both new and modified traffic signals in the City of Vista. It is not intended as a textbook or as a substitute for established standards, experience in the principles of traffic signal design and sound engineering judgment, but rather as a guideline to uniformity and to provide the designer with sufficient information to prepare the desired plans with a minimum of uncertainty.
II. STANDARDS
Traffic signal design and installation in the City of Vista shall conform to the following:
1. City of Vista Development Code
2. City of Vista Standard Drawings
3. The latest edition of Caltrans Standard Plans
4. The latest edition of Caltrans Standard Specifications
5. The latest edition of Caltrans Standard Special Provisions
6. The latest edition of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD)
7. The latest edition of the Caltrans Traffic Manual (only the parts which are still in effect)
8. The latest edition of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (“Green Book”), including supplements thereto
9. The latest edition of the San Diego Regional Standard Drawings
10. Project Plans and Specifications
The Engineer of Work shall:
1. Be a Civil Engineer (not a Traffic Engineer) with current California registration and shall sign and seal the final Plans.
2. Meet with the City’s Project Engineer to review design concepts and shall prepare a “redlined” concept drawing for discussion.
3. Obtain an electrical service point (power source) using the applicable process for the serving utility.
4. Prior to beginning design, send a map of the area where the improvements are proposed to all utility companies so that the utility companies can provide as-builts of their utilities. Next, send to the utility companies draft design plans showing the proposed improvements along with the utilities plotted from the as-builts so that the 08/12/2025
C9

GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN PLANS
utility companies can verify the location of their utilities and check for conflicts with the proposed improvements. If conflicts are foreseen, utility companies, at their discretion, shall pothole locations of potential conflicts prior to completion of the design plans.
Final approved design plans must also be sent to the utility companies for final verification of utility locations and conflict checks and for use in utility relocation, if needed.
5. Perform an as-built and record search to depict on the Plans all existing utilities (water, sewer, storm drain, electric, gas, traffic signal fiber optic, other communications infrastructure, etc.) within the entire footprint of the work area. Also show all existing utility poles and overhead wires as they may conflict with traffic signal poles and mast arms.
6. Verify that all existing traffic signal equipment and any proposed traffic improvements conform to current standards. Additionally, the Engineer of Work shall verify if the existing equipment can be re-used, replaced, salvaged and/or disposed of.
7. Submit electronic CAD and PDF drawings reflecting as-built changes as submitted by the contractor using bubbles and deltas. The Engineering Department will plot the as- built, obtain signatures and file the as-builts in the City’s system. Note that the original electronic CAD file must be saved separately prior to making any as-built changes.
III. DESIGN PLANS
Plans shall be designed on City standard “D” size sheet including the title sheet. The City’s standard title sheet with all notes will be provided by the City as detailed below. The quality of drafting and lettering size shall conform to the highest standards in order to ensure legible reduced prints. Plans shall be produced in the AutoCAD version currently used by the City's Engineering Department. All AutoCAD and other electronic files and an electronic copy of the signed plans in PDF format shall be submitted to the City.
DESIGN PLAN GUIDELINES
1. A traffic signal design plan shall contain the following elements:
• Standard improvement plan title sheet with notes. The standard title sheet with all the notes will be provided by the City as detailed in Section IV below. • Standard traffic signal design title sheet with Traffic Signal Notes and applicable Construction Notes. The standard title sheet with all the notes will be provided by the City as detailed in Section IV below.
• If applicable, standard interconnect title sheet with General Notes, Traffic Signal Interconnect Notes, applicable Construction Notes and details. The standard title sheet with all the notes and details will be provided by the City as detailed below. • If applicable, standard title sheet with signage and striping notes and details. The standard title sheet with all the notes and details will be provided by the City as detailed in Section IV below.
• Plan view drawing showing traffic signal improvements. • Conductor schedule, pole schedule, phase diagram and detector assignment tables.
• Design sheets showing other improvements as necessary. 08/12/2025
C9
315 of 364
GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN PLANS
• Construction and post construction BMPs and erosion control design. Sample BMP details and notes are available for review and electronic dissemination by the City.
2. The above design sheets can be rearranged to reduce the total number of sheets as space allows. For example, the Traffic Signal Notes may be placed on the standard improvement plan title sheet and the applicable Construction Notes may appear on the traffic signal design sheet itself. Another example is to combine the Traffic Signal Notes and the signage and striping notes and details into one sheet.
3. A traffic signal design plan shall use NEMA phasing conforming to the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUCTD), Part 4, Highway Traffic Signals.
4. The traffic movements on the major roadway shall be designated phases 2 and 6.
Phase 2 is to be used to designate either the northbound or eastbound movement. If the two intersecting streets are apparently of equal importance, the City's Engineering Department shall designate which of the two is the major roadway.
5. North shall always be oriented up or to the right on all design plan sheets. The major roadway shall always be horizontal on the plan.
6. Signal design plans shall be drawn at a 1" = 20' scale.
7. Pole identification numbering (or lettering) shall always increase clockwise around the intersection with the lowest numbered pole being always on the corner where the controller cabinet exists or is to be located.
8. Conduit run identification numbering shall start at the farthest conduit crossover from the controller cabinet corner and always increase in clockwise direction toward the home run pull box on the controller cabinet corner. The final home run conduits shall have the highest identification numbers.
9. Traffic signal poles and foundations shall be shown to their actual scale and placed on the Plans in the exact location where they are to be installed.
