In the mid 70's I worked on traffic signals for a short time. At that time we had 3 dial fixed time controllers they were made by Crouse Hinds Eagle Signal and Econolight. We also had hard wired interconnected signal systems controlled with a VOC VEHICLE OCCUPANCY COMPUTER. I would like to see you do more about signal systems in addition to isolated intersections. One more thing how do they cut round inductive loops?I see a lot of these in Indiana when I travel through Indiana.

I don't think I'll ever understand why I find these videos so fascinating to watch.

Unrelated to this exact video, I always wonder while watching how many of the traffic signals I go by have these high tech (i.e. computers, cameras, etc) controls systems. Is it just the larger, newer intersections or rebuilds of an intersection. On the few peaks I have seen into the control boxes around here, it's just a tangle of wires!

Cameras and sensors are readily visible. You don't need a peek into a cabinet to tell they're there.

So the current intersection looks fairly new. Why is it getting replaced?

How come the polls are so tall when the mast arm looks like it's halfway down the pole?

hey just a question. so what are some poles painted black and some are not? is there a coating to protect it?
@Trafficlightdoctor6 сағат бұрын
All the poles will be galvanized then powder coated any color the city/state specs out. The powder coat is optional some will just keep the galvanized finish to keep cost a little lower.
@jovetj6 сағат бұрын
It's the aesthetic the poles' owner wants. That's all.

Please clean the back of that drill truck. other than that great video! I saw you have some new thumbnails on a few of your recent videos, are those going to be more common? Personally I like the type this video has rather than the new red ones.
@TrafficlightdoctorСағат бұрын
For sure needs to be cleaned! And thank you for the feedback on the thumbnails! Just trying to improve and see what works better!

after living in the Midwest for 20 years and seen signal lights supported by cables only why would they want to put post in like this video? Aren't they more of a hazard for vehicles leaving the roadway?

They look nicer, last longer, and require less maintenance.

Florida requires them in a certain distance of the coast because they are better for hurricanes. I also think they can be more visible.

KZbin really limits me on what I can use and I try not to use the same two songs on every video! I’ll have to see about downloading some more from their list because I kinda agree with you!
