Morphology

signalization = signalize (transparent) = signal + ize + ation

Formed by adding the productive nominalizing suffix '-ation' to the verb 'signalize', yielding the act/process of signaling.

Etymology

Signalization comes from the word signal, which is related to a root meaning 'sign', and the ending -ization which means 'the act of making'. So, signalization is the process of making things clearly noticeable, like adding bright warning signs at a railway crossing.
