THIS WAS A HUGE OVERSIGHT!!

[@ForTheBirbs]

Thanks for another great video! Cheers

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Thanks for the continued support!!

[@Beanyurza]

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

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

I’m glad you do! Make sure to share it! 😁

When I was younger, I worked with a former ironworker. His advice was to never put your finger anywhere you wouldn't put your Richard.

[@gregwhite2190]

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.

[@trafficsig2012]

@Trafficlightdoct Nice informative videos that bring back so many memories from my time working @ CofMemphis TSM. We had a few similar oversights over the years. One we had to use a similar method, but we used a hydraulic ram instead of sledge (we believed the ram had less impact stress on the anchor & foundation). Another one involved having to abandon the original anchor foundation due to the wrong sized diameter anchors being installed for a mast arm vertical pole. Couldn't take a sledge or ram to fix that issue. Ended up cutting off the anchors flush with the pavement and re-drilling a new foundation close by (it wasn't a good day). So lesson learned from that day going forward was that we definitely measured multiple times, used the correct bolt circle template (had several different ones)for the pole being used, and made sure we matched the correct anchors to their respective poles, since we dealt with many different sized poles.

[@EllieGirl48]

Seems like oversights have become a new normal in every intustry.

[@thomasashjr5478]

In Pennsylvania, the inspectors would not allow us to bang the anchor bolts into alignment. Remove foundation and redo.

[@littleprincess4417]

What the inspector doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

[@AsteriskGamer]

How's it going over at Woodrow Wilson at that one intersection?

[@kevinpoore5626]

You said shaft haha haha Oh happy Friday the 13th which is also the first day of the 12 Days of Christmas I don't know if that's an omen or not LOL 🎉

[@NoPegs]

Obligatory "That's what she said." comment. =3

[@MikeF1189]

That could have been a lot worse.

[@grantfurr580]

My hometown has had the same traffic lights and poles since the early 90s they have never been changed lol

[@MCScrapE]

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

[@pl5bnsf]

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!

[@jovetj]

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

[@BartlettTFD]

In Memphis, TN virtually every intersection was converted from “loop” to camera sensor a few years ago.

[@trafficsig2012]

​@@BartlettTFD @BartlettTFD Hey I just wanted to reply to your comment on the City of Memphis video detection status at intersections. The suburb of Bartlett, TN (which I think you might be referring to instead of the actual City of Memphis - since Bartlett is in your YT name?) might be virtually all camera's by now, but Memphis still has more induction loop intersections compared to video loop intersections (as of 2020 when I retired from there). The city even has 150 +/- intersections (downtown)that are still fixed timed without any detection & those will mostly stay that way. The traffic signal department is making good progress with goals of "modernizing/upgrading" intersections to video, but budget and time (just within the city limits there are over 800 signalized intersections)are the limiting factors.

[@ramkidd123]

hey just a question. so what are some poles painted black and some are not? is there a coating to protect it?

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

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.

[@jovetj]

It's the aesthetic the poles' owner wants. That's all.

[@camoconecamo]

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.

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

For sure needs to be cleaned! And thank you for the feedback on the thumbnails! Just trying to improve and see what works better!

[@camoconecamo]

@@Trafficlightdoctor Good! Its interesting seeing your channel progress with the introduction of the drone as well as more music, montages etc.

[@bradhazen3897]

be safe and keep safe you do good work

[@curtismeskus504]

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

[@lbj612345]

highway lighting mast arm is usually added on top or gives the option in the future to do so.

[@TanikazeVT]

Theoretically, them poles should just slide in without a problem, right?

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Yes sir!

[@gustavomijailreyes4494]

Exelente trabajo

[@yafois988]

Of ALL topics and things in life, WHAT am I doing watching traffic lights being worked on, on the intranet? What next, fish aquarium building?? LOL

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

Make sure to subscribe!! 😁

[@aa999xyz]

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?

[@jovetj]

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

[@TheTrainWatch]

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

[@bryanlas]

Stop using the english system of measure. When making additions and subtractions thats where everything gets fucked up big time

[@Dfk429S9fo3]

It's just fractions, not rocket science.

[@dozer101308]

The music sucks

[@jovetj]

Terrible music.

[@Trafficlightdoctor]

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!

[@jovetj]

@@Trafficlightdoctor That's understandable. I just don't care for autotune orgasms.

[@bozobobert]

​@Trafficlightdoctor hate to say it I'm curious the name of that song to hear the full thing before judging

[@nathanseago]

​@bozobobert first song is called "Light It Up" by Robin Hustin & TobiMorrow featuring Jex. I think it's a cool song and a great pick since the channel is all about traffic lights. 2nd song when they were trying to line up the pole and base is called "Round n' Round" by Clarx and Shiah Maisel

[@nathanseago]

@jovetj nah you just have terrible taste in music. At least he doesn't have the music playing the whole video.

[@joehuscha2185]

Just needed a little fine tuning , NYC STYLE 🚦🚥🚧🗽

[@joehuscha2185]

By the way I have an very old 4 way pagoda style traffic light 1940's era with a few smiley lenses
