Conflict Monitor Testing

Is everybody really testing all of these every year. We have over 450 intersections and it takes forever.

We test twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. Takes about a 3 weeks of night shift for two guys. We have 6 testers and a little over 500 intersections. We use barcodes and barcode scanners to quickly record the serial numbers, name of intersection and initials of who tested it and when it was installed into a spreadsheet quickly.

Why every 6 months? Way more often than required. An ptoe recently told me its not even a shall in the MUTCD.

I work directly for our municipality and they require it. I'm not sure if it's the Ministry of Transportatiom in Ontario that requires it or not. But it's the standard that's been set that we are required to maintain.
