Installing NEW Traffic Lights In A Sketchy Area!Answering Your Comments!

[@VdgCgfd]

I love your KZbin channel anyways I'm the first comment

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

@@VdgCgfd I’m glad you enjoy it and thank you! I set the videos to members only for some hours before fully posting as a thank you!

[@kc0eks]

First is such a pathetic game

[@superdad2150]

How come the state doesn't invest in protecting the signal cabinets with barriers?

[@HBKBC]

What type of signals are easier to maintain: signals on mast arms or signals on span wires? Is it a matter of cost as to why some DOTs use them over soan wire setups?

[@littlebuddy761]

Go grab my Glock 😂

[@juniperwinters3277]

I think answering questions in the comments on video is helpful. It makes it a personal experience for those who you answer. I love watching these videos and have learned way more about traffic signals and how they work watching these videos, and I am greatly appreciative of it.

[@glitchmasta4771]

I've been watching this channel for a while and somehow never knew you were based in Mississippi, I'm also in MS so it's nice to see how our local area handles traffic signals.

[@kens.3729]

Thanks for Answering my Question about the Repair Cost incurred by the County or State for the Damages from your Previous Video. 👍🙏

[@stf2400]

I love your channel, I’ve always been curious on traffic lights and how they work. What I like to know is how traffic lights know you’re there if no cameras are around? I’ve seen the city workers checking programs on lights before and I was curious on what they were doing. Thanks for sharing and I’m subscribed for all your new content.

[@jovetj]

There are several different traffic detection methods and technologies. Camera detection is one. Radar detection is another. Metal sensing (induction loop) has been popular for decades.

Traffic Light Doctor: Many salutations! It is a real adventure to see the back-stage work necessary to keep those traffic signals doing their thing. There is one thing perplexing me . . . why are you interchanging the doghouse? From what I can see in the video, the signals in question govern the road traffic crossing the far-side frontage road which flows from right to left. There are times when Dallas phasing does come in handy; for this particular situation, I do not see the need for an FYA.

[@alexsgocart]

I would love to see how you guys hang the signal heads on the pole but understandable that is hard to film and do the job safely. Loving the content!

[@thebozkin5087]

What is the make and model of your green flashing lights on your trucks and where I can get and buy them

[@sml121081]

Out of curiosity, the doghouse had a five conductor and the FYA needs a four conductor how come you all ran all new wiring to the FYA? I'm not sure if you're into older signals but I have a few videos of my collection, there's some Crouse Hinds, Eagle, G.E. and Southern Autoflow. Anyways I enjoy the channel be safe out there.

[@JJRush_]

My new favorite channel, I'm addicted!

[@crashedmonkey2589]

Now you got me real curious on the boxes I see here in the Phoenix area in the peak summer months and how that equipment handles the air temps in triple digits 24/7 and how hot it really gets :P Dont really see air coolers working that great for all that electronic equipment

[@JacTheRipper87]

What phase was the FYA going to be ? Phase 5 has the LED connected to the back panel. Usually indicates a problem in the field or used to keep a phase in operation while diagnosing a problem. Also why not have jack stands and a pipe on your truck you could set up the wire spool right on the end of the truck.

[@d.wssuckitupdredging1338]

Really enjoy watching! I’ll send ya a can of loop sealer. If you’ll send me ped xing light 😂

[@patrick86]

When the state repave a road who is responsible for putting the wires back in tge road, and how low do we have to deal with the light going through all settings.

[@robertbeyers1308]

Love your channel. But what about the lights that aren't working on this job site. They need to be fixed. And you should do a video on them.

[@probeman6]

Love the videos! How does one get into the field of repairing traffic signals?

[@streetsmartstraffic]

Its not always just a direct path. However, the easist way is to 1st) Have a tech background i.e. electrical, electronics, programming, I've even seen a computer repairman get employed. 2nd) Look at path of least resistance...start checking around your local agencies Public Works departments. Local, County, State some type of government agency. You may be doing alot of everything but i they maintain signals, that's what you want. 3rd) Learn as much as you can, then start hoping to other agencies, contractors, employers and get PAID. Just my 2 cents

[@257channel]

I would love to see how you bump out the traffic lights if the cables are not yet landed or labeled in the cabinet.

[@jovetj]

I was surprised that there aren't pull lines in the conduits for adding/changing cable at that DD.

[@chrisschack9716]

Might not work so well, SOMEBODY has to set that up and they're pretty much one-time use unless you have enough slack on the end to pull it back.

[@jovetj]

@@chrisschack9716 Well, usually the pull line is pulled in with the regular cables. When it needs used to pull a new cable in, a replacement pull line is pulled along with it and then just left in place.

[@Javelin3o4]

How do you get into this type of job?

[@jjohnson71958]

install some exhaust fans for the traffic control boxes so that the electronics r properly ventilated

[@NWIndianaElevators]

Random question, but do you guys do “temporary traffic lights” for projects and/or installs? I know that INDOT does this from time-to-time…

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Yes sir we are currently building one in Gulfport just started on it a day ago! But we’ve built a bunch of them typically wooden poles and span!

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

You know of the short term temporary traffic lights that are on a trailer and unfolded and anchor at the spot it is needed

[@eduardogutierrez9014]

What size are you in your work boots

[@MikeHarris1984]

13:46 that reminds me kids, Dont do drugs. (That incident reminded me of water boy when hes talking to rhe kid's about getting the ball and running to a touchdown and the teacher says at the end that saying)

[@mrnapolean1]

Thanks for answering my comment. :)

[@Fade2005]

What’s your favorite, span wires or mast arms?

[@AndrewChukin]

I don’t remember when I subscribed all I know is that I’m a newer subscriber

[@ralts6464]

Imagine trying to do roadwork overtime during night especially installing new lights

[@Josh-of-all-Trades]

Wouldn't that been easier with walkie talkies?

[@DANIELSCHWARTZCitrusplace]

Cool

[@stuandjan]

How come you use green flashing light on your trucks than yellow?

[@JacTheRipper87]

Green is easier for the human eye to see

[@BartlettTFD]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

I wonder how people deal with diverging diamonds when power is out for people not familiar with them with the crossovers! 😲🙉🙊🙈

[@jovetj]

If it's anything like regular, multi-lane intersections with signal failures... VERY POORLY.

[@MikeHarris1984]

8:52 Fine conn wire. Does that mean it was a good conn so its an ex-con now? Lol

[@1613cundey2]

How come the box is so far from the light

[@streetsmartstraffic]

I help in the design process along with maintaining signals...many times, its just to get the box as far away as possible so it doesn't get hit!

[@berylwhite2983]

I'm certainly proud of you you work with them and not against them. You definitely aren't a government like city or sometimes state they always work against not with. So you always need to carry a tire iron for those catchy areas they fit in your back pockets you know

[@ih7131]

Try doing a figure eight with the cable instead of doing S's with it

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

When we pull miles at a time that’s exactly what we do!

[@jovetj]

Drugs are a hell of a drug.

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Imagine working on traffic intersections you see the worse of it!

[@jonasbeadle975]

In california there are usually street lights on top of our traffic light pole.

[@Nicholasboyy]

Did you use your gun or no??
