Ipswich City Council provides a geospatial dataset detailing the locations of traffic signals within its jurisdiction. The data includes signals owned by both the local council and the Department of Main Roads and Transport. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of traffic signals to identify coverage gaps using location geometry.
• Model traffic flow and congestion by integrating signal locations with road network data.
• Plan infrastructure maintenance schedules based on the ownership field distinguishing council and state-managed assets.
• Perform proximity analysis for new developments relative to existing traffic control infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats including GEOJSON, SHP, and KML.
• Maintained and updated by the authoritative local government body, Ipswich City Council.
• Includes a distinction for asset ownership between local and state transport departments.

Limitations

• The total number of signal records and the temporal coverage of the data are unknown.
• Lacks attribute details such as installation date, signal type, or operational status due to unknown columns.
• Geographic scope is limited solely to the City of Ipswich, restricting broader regional analysis.
