What "warrants" a signal or not?

warrant  is a condition that an intersection must meet to justify a  signal  installation. The Manual on Uniform  Traffic  Control Devices (MUTCD) specifies nine " traffic  control  signal  need MUTCD cover s studies", known as  warrants .

An engineering study of traffic conditions, pedestrian characteristics, and physical characteristics of the location shall be performed to determine whether an installation of a traffic control signal is justified at a particular location. Even though a warrant may be present, it does not necessarily justify the installation of a traffic control signal.

Check here to read more about each of the warrants and also what factors need to be met to justify the signal.
