Hi,

I've traffic signals layer as points layer and trying to find out the adjacent traffic signals for each signal and the distance between them. Is there a way to perform this using ArcGIS? Nearest neighbor would not do directional search. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Generate Near Table (Analysis)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

supports finding more than 1 feature, so choose 2.  Hopefully one of the two will be in the opposite direction of the candidate location.

Once the coordinate values are obtained, you will have to calculate direction/angle data from each pair using dx, dy values and then query for your desired direction.

You have this posted in the Spatial Analyst and ArcGis Online section of the Community, but there is no indication that you need to do this with rasters or online. 

Perhaps you could fix one of the questions and provide more information.
