Morphology

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

Built by nominalizing the verb 'signalize' with '-ation'; the resulting noun can denote a result or instance of signaling, which is readily inferable.

Etymology

Signalization is built from signal, a root that means 'sign', and the ending -ization meaning 'the act of making'. So, signalization can also mean a clear sign or mark that draws attention, like bright colors that warn of danger.
