1. A signal case for use as a traffic signal, the signal case comprising:
- a housing;
a light source disposed within the housing;
a door operably attached to the housing, wherein the door is configured such that photons generated by the light source may be sensed outside the housing;
a tab attached to the door; and
a sensor attached to the tab, wherein one of the housing and the door is configured to allow the sensor to sense a parameter originating from outside the housing.

Abstract
A traffic signal with integrated sensors. The present invention provides an apparatus for integrating sensors with a traffic signal. A signal case has a housing and a light source placed within the housing. A door attached to the housing is configured such that photons generated by the light may be sensed outside the housing. A tab is attached to the door. A sensor is attached to the tab. The housing or the door is adapted to allow the sensor to sense a parameter originating from outside the housing.
