Pedestrian Signal Repair

When the weather was still a bit warmer in mid-September, Frazier Signal Technologies was called to Wiscasset to assess and stabilize a pedestrian crossing at the signalized intersection of Main Street and Water Street.

The initial report indicated that a mast arm upright had been struck and that wiring associated with the pedestrian equipment was exposed.

Thankfully, when we arrived on site, we were relieved to find that the damage was less severe than initially reported. The shroud on the upright was cracked, and the housing for the pedestrian control module was broken but posed no immediate danger. We were able to stabilize the remaining damage and secure the crossing while replacement parts were ordered for a successful pedestrian signal repair.

On a lighter note, a special thanks to the folks at Red’s for letting us park on the sidewalk and treating us to some soda and whoopie pies! We always appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the communities we serve.

Have a great week, everyone!

This past week, Frazier Signal Technologies responded to an emergency traffic signal repair call from the Town of Rockport after a serious incident.

A driver experienced a medical emergency, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a utility pole and several trees. The impact loosened the pole’s guy wire, allowing the utility poles to lean inward and lowering the span wire traffic signals to a height that created a hazard for passing vehicles.

Before repairs could be made, a large vehicle struck the lowered signals, breaking the lower span wire and damaging multiple signal heads.

Upon arrival, the Frazier Signal Technologies team secured and repaired the guy wire, restored proper tension to the upper span wire, and returned the traffic signals to their correct operating height. We then replaced the damaged signal heads, reattached the lower span wire, and recalibrated the camera detection system.

With all repairs completed and the intersection operating safely, we were able to return the signal to full service.

We appreciate the Town of Rockport for placing their trust in Frazier Signal Technologies during this emergency. We’re proud to provide responsive, reliable traffic signal support when communities need it most.
