signalized

Marked with lights

Signalized describes an intersection or crossing equipped with traffic signals—lights that control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians: The accident occurred at a signalized intersection.

The word appears almost exclusively in traffic engineering and urban planning contexts.

A signalized crossing is distinguished from one controlled by stop signs or yield signs.
