The County, acting through the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is a co-lead of AZTech, a regional traffic management partnership in the Phoenix Metropolitan area that guides the application of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies for managing regional traffic. Through AZTech, the Bell Rd Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) (Phase 2) Deployment Project was generated. This project is an extension of the Bell Rd 2 ASCT (Phase 1) Deployment Project completed in 2019. Phase 1 included Project Areas 1-4. The goal of Phase 2 is to expand Phase 1 deployment and provide a system with the ability to adjust signal operations in real-time, reduce delays, reduce travel times, improve safety to multiple modes of vehicles, pedestrians, transit, and emergency services, reduce vehicle emissions by reducing stops and delays at arterial intersections and the interchanges, improve cross-jurisdictional traffic flow, making travel appear seamless to the driver. 4. Bell Road is identified as a key east-west arterial extending from Loop 303 on the west to I-17 on the east. 5. ASCT has been identified as an important tool to provide improved traffic signal timing adjustments in response to varying traffic volumes and congestion. 6. In association with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) System Management and Operations (SMO) Plan, Phase 2 consists of the installation of ASCT at 13 signalized intersections in two distinct areas along Bell Road as identified below. (Areas 1-4 were completed in 2019 as part of the Bell Rd ASCT (Phase 1) Deployment Project) 6.1 Area 5 – 2 traffic signals – Bell Road from Del Webb Blvd. to Boswell Blvd., connecting to the existing ASCT system to the west in City of Surprise and to the east in Maricopa County. 6.2 Area 6 – 11 traffic signals – Bell Road from 69th Avenue to 39th Avenue, connecting to the existing ASCT system to the west in City of Glendale and to the east in City of Phoenix. 7.
