Entering Locations
Work Summary and Locations Screen
The Work Summary and Locations screen is used to add information about the location of the work. There is no limit on the number of work units that can be entered on one application, but all must be in the same district, county, and municipality.
Traffic signal locations are identified by latitude and longitude. A traffic signal Id containing location information must be created in TSAMS before a Signal Id can be added to a Traffic Signal application. Highlighted TSAMS information is available to assist with traffic signal information entry. Please contact your district traffic unit for assistance: http://www.dot.state.pa.us/Portal%20Information/Traffic%20Signal%20Portal/CONT.html.
