Which agency is in charge of roadway signals for Georgia?

• A. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
• B. The Georgia Department of Transportation
• C. Georgia Department of Public Safety
• D. Federal Highway Administration

Answer: (B)

Traffic signals on Georgia roads are managed by the state’s transportation department. In Georgia, that responsibility falls to the Georgia Department of Transportation because they plan, install, time, and maintain traffic signals on state highways and coordinate signal timing to keep traffic moving safely. They also handle projects that involve signals and work with local governments as needed, ensuring consistency with national standards. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration focuses on vehicle and driver safety policy rather than operating signals; the Federal Highway Administration provides federal guidance and funding but doesn’t run signals; and the Georgia Department of Public Safety handles enforcement rather than signal operations.
