This dataset contains records of work completed and in-progress work from June 2018 to present for the purpose of tracking the installation and maintenance of roadway markings across the City of Austin. The Jobs dataset is separated into four categories: Long Line, Short Line, Specialty Markings, and Raised Pavement Markings.

Long Line: Work group responsible for installing and maintaining lane lines, double yellow centerlines, bike lane lines, and turn bay.

Short Line: Work group responsible for installing and maintaining crosswalks, school zone lines, and stop lines.

Specialty Markings: Work group responsible for installing and maintaining arrows, words, bike symbols, pedestrian symbols, railroad crossings, yield triangles, parking stalls/Ls/Ts, green pads, and speed hump markings.

Raised Pavement Markings: Work group responsible for installing and maintaining delineators, raised pavement markings (RPMs), and concrete domes.

This dataset reports on the operation state of traffic signals in Austin, TX. Traffic signals enter flash mode when something is preventing the signal from operating normally. This is typically the result of a power surge, power outage, or damage to signal equipment. A signal may also be intentionally placed into flash mode for maintenance purposes or be scheduled to flash overnight.

You can view an interactive map of flashing traffic signals here:

Approximately 90% of the City’s signals communicate with our Advanced Transportation Management System. When these signals go on flash, they will be reported in this dataset. Although we are extending communications to all signals, approximately 10% are not currently captured in this dataset. It also occasionally happens that the event that disables a traffic signal also disables network communication to the signal, in which case the signal outage will not be reported here.

In this dataset the distinction between scheduled and unscheduled flash is identified by the 'operation state' column. A signal that is in unscheduled flash mode will have a status of 2 or 7. A signal that is in in scheduled flash mode will have a status of 1.

This product is for informational purposes and may not have been prepared for or be suitable for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes. It does not represent an on-the-ground survey and represents only the approximate relative location of traffic signals.
