Traffic Operations

We take great pride in helping to keep the public safe and the traffic flowing efficiently. Our Traffic Operations Center connects to the signal control computers and video cameras by cables and through our wireless network. In addition to traffic signals we are responsible for:

• Street Lights
• Sign Shop
• Pavement Marking
• Animal Control

We are responsible for traffic engineering matters as well as operation and maintenance of all traffic control devices including speed humps, traffic signs, pavement markings, street lights and parking facilities. We analyze, design, build, and maintain our traffic control systems and facilities, continuously improving safety and efficiency. Waterloo has approximately 198 signalized intersections and 65,000 traffic signs. We coordinate closely with other agencies such as the Iowa Department of Transportation and Black Hawk County to better traffic operations.

We are proud to be the founder of the first ever self-sustaining public traffic safety awareness program. It is designed to save lives by targeting driver behavior. The "Drive Safe Cedar Valley" program promotes safer roadways by showing that safe driving matters.
