Traffic Control Board (TCB)

Regulating Traffic Control Devices

The Traffic Control Board regulates matters relating to traffic within the City of Rochester, including: stop signs, traffic signals, turn restrictions, on-street parking regulations, one-way signs, adult school crossing guard locations, weight limit restrictions, speed limits, geometric changes, and detour signs.

For Urgent Issues or to Report a Problem with a Traffic Control Device

Monroe County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) maintains traffic signals and traffic signs on all city streets. For problems relating to traffic signals or signs, call MCDOT at 585-753-7700. 

To Report a Traffic Safety Concern

To request a stop sign, traffic signal, or safety study, please visit MCDOT's traffic safety page. Safety concerns can be reported through their web form found on that page.

Inquiries, Concerns, or Requests

Individuals with inquiries, concerns, or requests about traffic control devices or parking regulations should email or call the City's Transportation Specialist at the contact listed below, Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. They will address your issue and work with you on the appropriate process for getting changes made. In some cases, a petition may be required. 

For Construction Projects

The Traffic Control Board regulates matters relating to traffic within the City of Rochester, including closures and/or alterations to traffic flow on streets, lanes, bike lanes, parking lanes, and/or sidewalks for construction projects. All construction projects needing use of the right-of-way for more than two (2) weeks will need a Maintenance and Protection of Traffic Plan (MPOT) approved at TCB prior to issuance of a permit. TCB approval is also needed for new driveway openings or changes to existing driveways within the Center City District. For more information, and to download the TCB Application, please visit the Street and Sidewalk Right-of-Way permits webpage. If you need more guidance on creating an MPOT Plan, please reach out to a local engineering firm to provide that service.
