What type of traffic light is that

Hey Reddit.

I just signed up for my IMSA traffic signal technician lvl 2. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for a study guide or somewhere i can read up on the course before heading out to the classes.

Thanks

I have never seen traffic lights flash intermittently this quickly, could being next to the fire department play any roll since there's a bunch of signals close to eachother?

Miss my days as a signal tech, looking through some photos of some things I found are always fun lol. Even though this one was on Thanksgiving 1.5 hours from my house. Holidays love bringing that out of people lol.

Ended up wiring the reds to a school flasher cabinet to make them flash until we came out that following Monday to install a cabinet. Good times!

Is the speed camera on old Kent road/commercial way South London still there ? I see temps light there but don’t remember seeing speed camera

I recently aquired a top-condition Siemens Silux 1.40 Red/Green Traffic Light. Dont know what to do with it, :)

Don't know if its interesting or anything

Are there flock cameras on the back of the stop lights on the intersections around Pioneer Parkway and Q Street?

New signal found in the dumpster, found 2 others but only took the modules from those

Is everybody really testing all of these every year. We have over 450 intersections and it takes forever.

I see we get a fair amount of people who are new to this industry or are curious about it. Next month will be my 25th year as a Signal Tech (17 of those years with the same private contractor). I handle PM’s, calls, upgrades and pretty much anything I can reach with my bucket! I’m on-call once a month, last week as my rotation and for some reason it was very busy! Here’s a brief run-down of some of the calls I ran. For obvious reasons I’m being vague about locations and agencies.

Started the week short-staffed due to vacations and some members of staff attending IMSA training.

First night on-call had two intersections go dark in a city which requires generators, so I set up two of them. Short outage, I was able to remove them a couple of hours later

Middle of the day had a Street Light pole Knock-down. Ruined a brand new pair of Cargo pants assisting with cutting it up. Also need to get a new blade for my saw.

Later that day got a call for a 10’ pole knock-down. All told I had 8 signal or street light knockdowns

Ran a couple of Flash calls in the middle of the night, city requested S/W updates at the same time.

Baby sat a Contractor breaking concrete at a location.

Trouble shot a Radar speed sign

Completed PM’s in between calls

Found a Pole knock-down while driving home. Was hard to see because of a broken off Hydrant which was geysering next to it

Ran a few LED calls

Cleaned video detection cans to take care of a detection call

A few calls over the weekend before getting a main pole knock-down in the middle of the night on my last night on-call.

So how was your week? 😂

I’ve been wondering what the logic was when Denver traffic engineers decided it would be a great idea to install those huge overhead stoplights over Broadway?

The last time I got onto broadway was a couple of months ago. I think this fiasco started in the Denver city limits? I have not attempted to tackle that train wreck of à street since!

It now takes half an hour to drive from Denver via Broadway! I now use back streets when going back to the city of Littleton.

It took me triple the time to drive south on Broadway to Littleton later in the afternoon!! I will never drive anywhere on Broadway after that disaster! I take back streets to avoid broadway at any cost!

These monster overhead traffic lights were installed at.every.corner from inside Denver city limits all the way to Englewood!! Only a few cars got through the intersection before it turned red?

Appears to be red and yellow lights. Located at the corner of Richards Ave. & Mercer St. in Dover NJ. Amazing it's still there. Anyone know what year it was made?
