1930s Video On How To Use Traffic Signals
This 1937 video on traffic lights is pretty cool. It's interesting how it talks about all the different kinds of traffic signals that were used before they were standardized. Some cities had just red and green lights while others used yello and some evey had four colors! The video doesn't say though what the fourth color was. Anyone know?
SRTC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Spokane County. Urbanized areas with populations exceeding 50,000 people are required to have an MPO. SRTC was formed to address the county's transportation planning needs. It provides coordination in planning between the public, cities, small towns, the county, the state, transit providers, and tribes.
SRTC offers services including transportation monitoring, transportation modeling, census information analysis, travel demand forecasting, historical traffic count analysis, geographic information systems, and trip generation rates.
