My Latest & Greatest Traffic Light Configuration

  • Опубліковано 28 жов 2017
  • After a year of acquiring new gear for my controller cabinet and a LOT of troubleshooting, I finally got this beast running! A huge thanks to Nick, Sean and everyone else on the forum who helped me get my basement intersection to where it is now!
    The purpose of the yellow arrow and light is redundant, yes, but it will become a flashing yellow arrow once I get the programming changed!
    Also one side of my flasher burned out so that's why only some lights are flashing red during the initial startup.
    Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions or if you'd like to see some custom phasing and crosswalk sounds!
    UPDATE: Thanks for all the views and following my channel! The setup has definitely evolved since this video and I always try to keep it interesting for my viewers!

    I have a British siemans raghead lantern. It's featured in my lights out video.
    The lantern in my case is fitted with pedestrian hoods as the traffic version would make it front heavy. I've also mounted the upper bracket to act as a counter balance, and the lower bracket stored in the base section for the same reason.

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  3 роки тому +1

      A load switch can control a group of signals. One could control all main street signals or one per direction. Each direction should have 2-3 signals at least. I have all my load switches being used so I can run as many overlaps as I can but it's not necessary.

    Why does the cuckoo repeat shortly and why there is even a flashing walk and a countdown as well? On the roads, does the countdown also start when the pedestrian signal goes to walk?

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  5 місяців тому

      Countdowns usually start at flashing don’t walk but they do countdown from walk in some provinces or in some small towns. It’s technically not MUTCD compliant.

    What does the flashing green arrow mean? (Is it a signal used in normal situations?)

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  4 роки тому +3

      It's a Canadian thing. It's the same as a solid left turn arrow but I think the rationale is to get drivers attention better and it helps to tell the difference between green and yellow since we like to use bimodal arrows.

    Explain me every stage of your setup.First there are these pedestrians,other some arrows,how each one work?They're really complicated to understand

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  2 роки тому

      So the arrows turn on to allow left turns off of the main street and right turns off of the side street. Then the main street traffic will proceed and the pedestrian signals go on at the same time. Then the side street gets to go, with pedestrians as well. I have some custom setups with the transit signal and right turn arrows as well that you wouldn't usually see all the time.

The one piece signal with the one square red light is a GE Gentrol. Very common in Quebec, PEI and some parts of New Brunswick (Canada).
