Very interesting.

I like your sarcastic statement. He had to cross Illinois Rt.13 to get to Taco Bell immediately!!!

pretty neat design, looks well built, it's not site dependent so it can be reused

And I thought I was a bad driver 😅

That punchline at the end. lmao! Been there done that more times than I can count as an "engineer." I was a 3D artist for training systems for 7 years, and conflicting/missed information was so common from some of my other coworkers that too many mistakes like that sunk the company and we all were laid off. I still remember the 14 times I had to readjust my 2 year backlog for a work order because staffing kept getting pushed right due to other projects that were on fire. The systems lead would come to my cube at the end of each month and in a please-don't-kill-me tone say "heyyy, sooo uh... the backlog" to which I'd say "again?" and he'd silently nod to which I'd sigh and reply "alright, it'll be done by next Thursday." For real though, he was awesome and I'd work with him again if I could. He was just stuck by management with the crap job of having to be the guy ruin the end of my month for 14 months. Coordination is a lot more than numbers on a sheet. It's equipment cost, staffing cost, and above all else WELLBEING COST. I'm not about to piss off the guys underneath me by telling them all the work they did that week was pointless because the room CAD data was wrong. That's supposed to be my job to figure that out before they even know the job exists.

0:31 "...see if we can't fix this problem". CAN'T fix this problem? I think you mean CAN fix this problem. There's no point in going up into the housing if you can't fix the problem.

I used a Walmart Everstart Maxx battery for about 16 years and it was 3 years old when I got it. No BS!!!

So if someone pushes the button 10 times, will the ped. signals cycle 10 times even if the button is not pushed after the first cycle?

Mow the grass- not the cabinet!!!

I noticed that the red, yellow, and green lights are wired red, orange, and green, respectivly. I'm assuming the blue and black wires are for the pediatrician signals. Which colored wire controls the "don't walk" lights and which wire controls the "walk" lights?

What do O/N and H/O stand for on the control unit display?

In Missouri, a lot of our intersections have become the flashing yellow left turn however when the thru lanes have a green, there is about a 3 second delay from the left turn red arrow to the flashing yellow. It was for oncoming traffic to began taking the intersection so drivers wouldn’t immediately turn on the flashing yellow.

So if you turned out both of the small green bulbs on your "signal board" (to simulate two burned out bulbs) the signals would go to "flash mode"?

I see those "pullbox" covers often. I wondered what was underneath them. Thanx now I know, and now I don't have to get caught removing one downtown. HA HA.

Me again. I love that the old transparent incandescent bulb looks pretty clean.

Job security , poor communication at the upper crust. A lot of overpasses have just been rebuilt on I-70 east of KCMO and now they are going to six lanes each side , so they will have to be rebuilt.

Willing to bet it was someone hauling a bucket loader and smacked it with the elbow. Kinda surprising as these sign boards are like ... what... 20ft up?

That dent looks a lot like the boom on an excavator, right where the main boom meets the stick. Given the apparent low speed impact it could have been part of a project in that area. Had that been a highway speed hit I would expect much more damage.

So glad that we spent all this money on active traffic management systems and instead of providing traffic times or detour information they're just like, "No, we're going to abuse these as billboards even though the FHWA told us not to for fucking good reason".

That looks expensive. I think I would have the keys on a lanyard.

I love your "test board"!!! Please put in red, yellow, and green light bulbs.HA HA HA.

Did anyone see his first and last names? Thanx for making your videos, Mr. Tooley.

I have made the same mistake! Electronic devices work much better when they are plugged in. LOL.

PLEASE clean the dust off of that poor old incandescent light bulb. HA HA HA.

I asked this question in the past. Why does the "flash mode" unit work when it's not flashing all the signals? Seems like unessessary "wear and tear".

Why does the "flash mode" unit work when it's not flashing the signals? Seems like unessessary "wear and tear".

Where's the light bulb for the cabinet interior light? HA HA

I love the old style incandescent light bulb without protection!!! LOL

Bucket truck is my guess

I’ve always wondered why those signs were so big, who knew it was a whole room!!! 😂

Gotta love the govnerment communication and coordination that it gets removed 3 days later.

I spit coffee out of my nose on that last bit.

Those meanwell boxes are power supplies/LED drivers. Keep them cool! they hate heat.

That is cool you can go right inside the panel and don’t have to close any lanes to traffic

A box trailer looks to have a few feet of clearance. Makes me wonder what it it too.

Would the structure of that truss be evaluated after it's known to have been hit, to check for any damage that could cause it to fall? (Assuming it wasnt taken down like this one was)

I didn't know you could walk into these message board signs. Cool Video!

Imagine being inside there when it got hit.

Government workings at its finest. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing.

Lol they sent you out there to look at it just before they ripped it down? Meanwhile where i live (Melbourne Australia) there is sections of one of our major freeways that all the electronic overhead speed signs and that have been out of action for most of the year. And rather than fixing them they just put a bunch of the temporary remote signs you would use during road works or something. That have now been there so long they are all faded and dirty and hard to see the speed display.

Don’t feel bad! We just built a $160k intersection in Gulfport, MS that’s going to be removed by the end of next year on a separate project!

Good to see things are the same everywhere. Left hand never knows what the right’s up to!

Very interesting to see the “inside” of the message boards👍👍

that last part.. i get ya.... i have to go site to site fixing shit.... spend 4 grand of the companies money to repair it only to see our stuff coming out.. and a new unit that isnt ours go back in as im driving to another site..... "like COMMEEEE OOONNNN i spend 5 hours on that and you... i.. you..sunnova... WHY"

Even though it was taken down entirely, it's still good to have a working sign in case of emergencies. That was important work to do.

Cool.... They sure make them way bigger than they need to be! I understand the need for repair-ability when its up that high, but wow that is overbuilt and expensive looking. Well I guess with the new highway rules that you can't have funny sayings anymore on them in what end of 2025 now. The feds take out all the fun out of the large signs! 🤠👍

Looks like they were recently paving the shoulder. Dump truck box in air with paving machine slowly pushing it at night, perhaps?

IThat was fun and worth the video.

I'm Washington State we have no left or right turn signs light up on the traffic light pole as well for light rail trains. Some have a train picture flash. Does that same system control those fancy light up signs as well?

Well, at least you got paid.
