Capital Request / Project Form
Department Project Title Project Number
Fire Department Opticom Traffic Pre-Emption 19-007

Project Description
Install an Opticom Traffic Pre-Emption system on the traffic signal at Rufe Snow Dr. and Baker Blvd.

Project Justification
This request will provide an Opticom traffic pre-emption system for the intersection of Rufe Snow and Baker which is the most heavily
used intersection for all public safety entities in Richland Hills. This device will turn the lights green in the direction of travel of an
emergency vehicle rendering all other directions solid red and creating a more safe environment for emergency vehicles to pass
through the intersection. In addition, emergency vehicles are able to slow less and accelerate sooner when the intersection is
controlled in their direction of travel. Each intersection that has an Opticom can potentially reduce response times by 20-30 seconds
per emergency incident. We are proposing to do one intersection per year until all traffic signal intersections in the city have been
done.
