How to Verify a Traffic Signals Contractor (D52) in California

California requires all contractors performing traffic signals work valued at $500+ to hold a valid CSLB D52 license. Of the 1,559 licensed traffic signals contractors in the state, 96% currently hold active licenses and 0.6% have at least one federal compliance record.

Manual vetting takes 45+ minutes per contractor and routinely misses violations in databases most people don't know to check.
