My Traffic Signal Collection - Quarantine Edition

  • I decided to add another full intersection video for the end of March because a lot of you are stuck at home.
    This is just a brief update to my basement intersection. I've added a poly Fortran section with the red countdown timer to my fiber optic pedestrian signal. The backplate for the 3M isn't completely secured yet but it's "in place". I've changed the visors from yellow to black on the inline 5 & the bicycle signal. I've changed the visors from black to yellow on the inline 4 & added a strobe unit to the red. It currently does not work but I am going to get it upgraded by Sean Breen to an LED strobe.
    Finally, I still have some extra Polara Navigators that I've tested at this point and fixed one of them with parts from another heavily damaged Navigator. They will likely be used in the future!
    Enjoy, and leave any questions or comments below!

    I love The talking countdown sign that you got. It’s pretty handy for the blind pedestrians to be able to cross on the crosswalk on the streets.

    Awesome update! I personally think the bicycle signal looks nice with black doors and I love the flashing count down! I also like how the pedestrian signal by the Gentrol has a count down with the 0 staying on, like what Quebec does!

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  4 года назад

      I haven't done a full restoration yet but you'll have to strip the light. A full sanding or sand blasting. Then primer, then a couple coats of paint. You'll probably have to grease up the hinges as well. Lots to do haha!

    • @treytrent1999

      Newer models typically are 12" or 300mm but you'll still see quite a few 8" or 200mm models!

    What is the purpose of the blue light on the signal at 3:49 ? What does it mean? I’ve never seen one like that.

    • @TheTrafficTech
      @TheTrafficTech  3 года назад +1

      It's supposed to be like an emergency vehicle signal! There are other variations of this that use blue. My specific one was a custom build.
