Recent Traffic Studies
- SH 5 and Rosamond Parkway
- FM 455 and Oak Hollow Drive
- SH 5 and Finley Boulevard
- FM 455 at Westfield Drive / Willow Creek Drive
- FM 455 at Victoria Falls Drive
View the traffic study for SH 5 and Rosamond Parkway (PDF).
- Findings: Only Warrant 3 was met.
- Recommendation: Do another study once the new developments on the north side of Rosamond have more homes and traffic volumes increase.
- Status: We will be obtaining updated counts on Rosamond at SH 5 later this year once Rosamond at US 75 is open. Previously, volume counts criteria were not met. If the counts demonstrate additional warrants are met, we will submit the official request for the signal.

- Findings: No Warrants met.
- Recommendation: Monitor traffic volumes and reassess if volumes change significantly.
- Status: The study done in Fall of 2021 showed warrant criteria was not met. Since the subdivision is built out, we have not seen any significant changes in traffic volumes. If we see significant changes in traffic volumes, we will conduct another study.
Status: City Council brought this intersection up at a meeting with TxDOT in January 2023. It has not been previously studied. Since it is less than 500-ft from the new signal going in at Oak Hollow Drive, city staff believe that the signal at Oak Hollow will create traffic gaps to improve the ability for cars to turn in/out of the intersection.
Once the new signal is installed and operational at Oak Hollow, the city will revisit the intersection to see if further study is needed.

What are Traffic Signal Warrant Studies?
A traffic signal warrant study reviews 9 critical aspects of an intersection (warrants). This information is then used to determine whether a traffic signal is needed. The warrants include:
| Warrant | Description |
|---|---|
| 1A | Eight Hour Volume – Minimum Vehicular Volume (70% & 56%) |
| 1B | Eight Hour Volume – Interruption of Continuous Traffic (70% & 56%) |
| 2 | Four Hour Vehicular Volume |
| 3 | Peak Hour |
| 4 | Pedestrian Volume |
| 5 | School Crossing |
| 6 | Coordinated Signal System |
| 7 | Crash Experience |
| 8 | Roadway Network |
| 9 | Intersection Near a RR Grade Crossing |
