OR 224 and OR 212: Traffic Signal Upgrades Project

Project Completed

Region 1: Portland metro and Hood River County (Portland, Clackamas, Multnomah)


​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We installed modern traffic signal controllers, additional vehicle radar detection equipment and traffic monitoring cameras along Oregon 224 (Milwaukie Expressway) from SE 17th Avenue to I-205 and on Oregon 212 (Clackamas Highway) from Oregon 213 (SE 82nd Drive) to Rock Creek Junction (OR 224). We also added new thermal imaging sensors at five signalized intersections on OR 224 to detect bicyclists and trigger longer green lights, allowing them more time to cross wide intersections.

About

​We installed modern traffic signal controllers, additional vehicle radar detection equipment and traffic monitoring cameras along Oregon 224 (Milwaukie Expressway) from SE 17th Avenue to I-205 and on Oregon 212 (Clackamas Highway) from Oregon 213 (SE 82nd Drive) to Rock Creek Junction (OR 224).

New thermal imaging sensors installed at five signalized intersection locations on OR 224 will detect bicyclists and trigger longer green lights, allowing them more time to cross wide intersections.​

The new equipment allows ODOT engineers and technicians to perform remote assessments by monitoring traffic signal performance to better manage congestion and improve safety along these corridors.

The purpose of updating control systems, Advanced Traffic Controllers and new sensors is to collect more complete Automated Traffic Signal Performance Measures (ATSPMs)​. ATSPMs are “defined as a suite of performance measures, data collection and data analysis tools to support objectives and performance based approaches to traffic signal operations, maintenance, management and design to improve the safety, mobility and efficiency of signalized intersections for all users.”

Location

OR 224 |

​Oregon 224 (Milwaukie Expressway) from SE 17th Avenue to I-205

Oregon 212 (Clackamas Highway) from Oregon 213 (SE 82nd Drive) to Rock Creek Junction (OR 224).

Cost and Funding

​$2 million

Funding was provided by a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), "Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act" for Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD). It is one of a few technology deployments in Oregon. 

Contractor

Northeast Electric

Benefits

​Upgraded traffic signals with modern equipment and additional radar vehicle detection improves safety and travel efficiency by providing needed information to evaluate signal performance.

New thermal imaging sensors installed at five signalized intersection locations on OR 224 will detect bicyclists and trigger longer green lights, allowing them more time to cross wide intersections. 

Sensors have been installed. Data is used to monitor and retime the traffic signals more proactively.​
