ADOT has regional traffic operations resources throughout the state that are responsible for the operation and maintenance of traffic signals, roadway lighting, tunnel lighting, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and ADOT's Freeway Management System (FMS). There is no transit signal priority but, emergency pre–emption is available in some locations. Additionally, since some ADOT signals are in close proximity to railroad grade crossings, they have timing sequences for train crossings. Note that the ADOT Central District traffic signals are provided for under ADOT System Maintenance element and are not included here.
