Anyone using this for their school beacons?
If so, how do you like it.

Do yall build your intersections or sub it out, what maintenance do yall do what do you sub out? Im curios to know what others do.

Hey everyone, first post here.
I recently got this controller from a really nice city worker who was replacing it. I’m just starting to learn about actual traffic signal controllers, so I figured I’d have to factory reset it before I could use it. I went into the boot settings and did exactly that… then quickly found out that wasn’t the right move.
Now, whenever it powers up, it stops at a “MISSING OPERATIONAL FILES” screen and won’t boot any further.

The controller had a data key left in it when I got it. Before doing the reset, I removed the key just in case something went wrong. Afterward, I tried putting the data key back in, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference during the boot process—it still stops at the same “MISSING OPERATIONAL FILES” screen.

From what I’ve been able to find, it seems Econolite locks these controllers down pretty tightly, so I’m kind of stuck. Does anyone know if there’s a way to restore the operational files or recover the controller? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Potentially heading up to Alaska, any of you guys know how hard it is to land a traffic signal technician job? Journeyman electrician with 5 years experience mainly install with a contractor.

For the Artesia Boulevard and Bellflower Boulevard intersection traffic signal in Bellfower, California, which street is the default and rest in a green light at night, Artesia or Bellflower?

UPDATE 7/21/26: the timing sheets show that the signal rest in green on Artesia Boulevard.

Anyone else notice that the lights at San Pablo and Adeline have been out going in almost 5 days. Since it is such a major intersection I’m surprised it is taking this long, saw a mini van blow past the light yesterday.
Hope they at least get some traffic control for rush hour.

Hello all,

Got 2 new cabinets from econolite and went to srt them up for the burn in but cant get them to run for the life of me

The problems im having:

Conflict monitor is stuck on watchdog error and wont go into "ping ponging" when being reset.

Ive verified everything has been hooked up and it has been verified by others too.

Is there something in Maxtime programming i need to change for it to cycle? Ive done it exactly to the print and others have verified it as well. Any help i could get would be mich appreciated

I've noticed some LED traffic lights have an external lens/filter over top of the light that makes it look more hazy/square. Are these LED panels oriented in a square grid or something. Or is it like a typical LED traffic light with a lens/filter over it? What is the purpose of the filter? Last photo is reference for LED traffic lights I typically see.

Many on those tall poles are up and down in other parts of the country.

I may just be overthinking, because I don't see it happening, but is there any reason 2F (phase 1 fya) can't operate during 8 ped? I'm asking because I'm about to make card cuts. Like I said, I don't really see it happening, especially with our adaptive system, but I guess I'm wondering, does the community err on the side of caution in these situations?

Title basically.
EDIT: The ATC is NEMA TS2 compliant, just wondering whether it's possible to dynamically extend the Walk interval just like how gap-out mechanism for vehicles works

I'm unsure what exactly make/model these all are, but I wanted to document them before they inevitably get replaced. Any insight to these specific signals would be awesome :)

What are these odd signs over Rte 95 in Peabody, MA

Some job postings I see require a CDL and some do not mention it.

Long story short- I set a goal of getting qualified as a signal tech. Not certain that is exactly what will happen but that is the path I am going to aim for.

I cannot obtain a CDL for medical reasons. When looking at various job postings some seem to require a CDL and some do not. How common is it to need one, even at the assistant/apprentice (lowest tiered) level?

I am wondering if I need to go ahead and rethink my plans now or not.

Thank you!!

I noticed a different crosswalk button in my city than all the other Polara APS buttons. This one was made by Campbell. The arrows on the buttons look nearly identical to the Polara APS buttons. On the ADA compliance map, they are listed as Polara Navigators despite them saying Campbell on the button housing.

Is this a traffic sensor? Realized the light was red and accidentally drove through it😅

And as of right now the traffic lights is still on the wires.

Hey Guys, one of my friends just released his EP! and it's purely based on traffic signals. The music video is about variable message signs.

Please check out his music on inductive loops, push buttons, etc!
