  This study examines the major factors that must be considered while designing a traffic signal in urban area. The factors include hardware, (i.e., installation place and short circuits), and software, (i.e., phases, timing plan, offset). The current issues of traffic signals such as the application of LED (Light-Emitting-Diode) signals, count down signals, and accessible pedestrian signals, traffic signal controllers, and the signal indications being simultaneously displayed are discussed. This report aims to serve as a reference for all local governments to improve their traffic signal design.
