Traffic Monitoring

Department of Public WorksThe Traffic Management Center (TMC) and Signal Modernization Project is a major improvement to Guam's transportation system. Several intersections have been upgraded, and a new facility was built that houses the Department of Public Works' transportation staff and the TMC control room. The TMC building serves as a transportation communications center for the community and helps maintain smooth traffic operations.

The Guam TMC and Signal Modernization Project's goals and objectives are as follows:

To provide an integrated, coordinated traffic signal system that allows the Department of Public Works (DPW) to maximize the traffic handling capacity of Guam's highways.
To improve traffic safety, reduce traffic delays, and mitigate traffic congestion.
To provide efficient travel of emergency vehicles along key routes.
To assist in incident management and traveler information.
To improve environmental air quality and reduce fuel consumption.
To disseminate traffic information to the public.

The following items have been implemented to meet these goals and objectives:

A new Traffic Management Center (TMC) building on the grounds of the Department of Public Works in Tamuning, Guam. This building serves as the central headquarters for traffic operations, and the maintenance facility for the traffic signal system.
A fiber optic communication system that communicates between signals and the Traffic Management Center.
Updated signal controllers with recent technology and improved signal timings.
Installation of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system to monitor traffic.
