The Baltimore County Signal shop maintains 250 signalized intersections in a 600 sq. mi. area surrounding and not including Baltimore City. Baltimore County has 11 arterial signal systems coordinating 100 intersections. The signal systems are equipped with telephone interconnects and modems. The interconnects allow maintenance staff to graphically view the operation of each intersection to determine if it is operating properly. Examples of arterial systems are York Rd., Joppa Rd. and Merritt Blvd. the remainder of the signals operate independently.
