Improving Pedestrian Safety with ADA-Compliant Crosswalk Upgrades in Brewer, Maine

We love helping our local communities with improvement projects like this! A local business voiced a need for an added crosswalk to the City of Brewer. Not only did Brewer listen, they used the opportunity to team with us and upgrade all pedestrian buttons at this intersection on S. Main. New ADA compliant crosswalk buttons that are touchless and talking, tip downs with acceptable slopes and a new detection system. Thanks to the City of Brewer for making this one happen and Maine Construction Solutions for doing the dirty work.

Traffic Safety Improvements in Madison Maine

This past week Frazier Signals wrapped up an important traffic safety improvement project in Madison Maine.

In April, Maine DOT asked our team at Frazier Signal Technologies to design and install a flashing beacon at the intersection of Ward Hill, Old County Rd, and Main St. This area had seen 16 crashes in the last three years, with 75% resulting in injuries, so improving traffic safety was a top priority.

Here’s what we did:

• Installed flashing red lights on Ward Hill and Old County Rd to ensure drivers stop before entering Main St.

• Installed flashing yellow lights along Main St to alert 50 mph traffic to potential entering vehicles.

We’re incredibly proud to be trusted with projects that protect our local communities!

Wishing everyone a great week ahead!

New Safety Projects: RRFB Installations in Veazie and Madison

This past week, Frazier Signal Technologies laid the groundwork for two exciting upcoming projects in Veazie and Madison.

RRFB Installations

The Town of Veazie has contracted us to install two Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) along State Street, near the Veazie Congregational Church (1404 State Street) and Trade Winds/R.M. Flagg Restaurant Supply (1212 State Street). This week, our crew augered the foundations, poured concrete, and set the poles in preparation for next week’s installation.

In Madison, at the intersection of Main Street, Old County Road, and Ward Hill Road, we installed a new utility pole and electrical service, along with a support guy wire for the opposing pole. These improvements will support the multiple flashing beacons and RRFB installations designed to enhance safety for motorists and pedestrians traveling through the intersection.

Stay tuned—next week the hard work really begins as these projects start taking shape!

Have a great week, everyone!

Upgrading Traffic Signal Wiring in Orono

In October, we had the opportunity to work on an infamous “double intersection” signal in downtown Orono. The existing traffic signal wiring was indicative of the installation period. Meaning a 21 conductor from the cabinet and many, many splices throughout the system.

Traffic Signal Wiring

Frazier Signal Technologies was asked by Maine DOT to replace the traffic signal wiring with more direct runs and install a new traffic cabinet. The new wiring is now in place, and the cabinet installation is planned for later this month.

Upgrading Fort Kent’s Traffic Signals: Key Project Insights

One of our recent projects took Frazier Signal Technologies to the historic town of Fort Kent — the “0-mile” starting point of Route 1, stretching all the way to Florida.

We were honored to be invited by LaJoie Electric and Control Service to assist on their Maine DOT project, upgrading two key intersections in downtown Fort Kent.

Lynn Frazier and Rick Smith worked their magic inside the traffic cabinets, while DJ Cox and I handled the installation of signal equipment on the mast arms.

Traffic Cabinets

We were thoroughly impressed with the crews’ teamwork — especially witnessing a coordinated two-digger-truck lift of a 40-foot mast arm. Peter LaJoie truly embodied the saying “where there’s a will, there’s a way” as he and his team expertly navigated traffic, communication lines, and other challenges to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Thank you to everyone at LaJoie Electric and Control Service for the collaboration and hospitality.

Wishing all crews a safe and productive week ahead!

Night Work for New Intersection in Edgecomb, Maine

It’s been a few weeks since Frazier Signal Technologies shared an update.

Normally, we like to post weekly—showcasing the projects we’re tackling or highlighting the accomplishments of our team.

Lately, it’s just been nonstop—one project rolling right into the next.

Traffic Signal Installation in Edgecomb ME

One of our main focuses has been our overnight traffic signal installation in Edgecomb, ME. We’ve been building out a new intersection for Maine DOT. Because Route 1 stays busy during the day, our crew has been working nights to keep traffic moving safely. It’s been quite the task, but we’re getting close to wrapping it up.

Flashing Beacon Light Installation in Veazie: A Community Effort

Last week, Frazier Signal Technologies was busy in the Town of Veazie, working at the intersection of State Street and Main Street to replace a set of flashing beacon lights. As part of the project, we removed and replaced a utility pole, installed a new service, and completed the flashing beacon light installation.

The original plan was to reuse the old pole at the Veazie Salmon Club as a railing, but unfortunately, it was too far gone to be saved. Thankfully, we had an extra pole from a previous job that turned out to be a perfect fit.

We were honored to help and truly appreciated the kind words from the Veazie Salmon Club in the following message:

“Happy last day of July, Veazie Salmon Club Members!

Our community continues to step up and support our Club with gifts and acts of kindness that we humbly appreciate.

Most recently, through coordination with Town Manager Mark Leonard and the team at Veazie’s own Frazier Signal Technologies, a new telephone pole was donated and installed. The prior pole had rotted out and was an eyesore when driving down the hill into the parking lot.

Frazier Signal delivered the pole to the Club, and we did not expect them to take the time to also cut, notch, and install it.Many thanks to our awesome Town Manager and Frazier Signal Technologies for the generous support!”

Very respectfully,

Your Friends at The Veazie Salmon Club”

Efficient Traffic Solutions: MaineDOT Bridge Project Success

traffic team brainstorming traffic solutions

The Frazier Signal Technologies team recently completed another phase of the MaineDOT Bangor–I-95 Broadway Bridge Project.

This portion of the work tackled a key challenge: maintaining traffic flow while avoiding the high costs and disruption of trenching across a heavily traveled roadway. The solution—directional drilling.

We collaborated with Enterprise Electric Inc., Maine Construction Solutions, Badger and Centerline (utility locators) to install the underground conduit and pull boxes that will serve the new mast arm traffic signals.

All four directional drills were successfully completed during a single overnight shift—each bored 36 inches below the roadway, carefully avoiding existing water, sewer, natural gas, communication duct banks and electrical utilities.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this phase.

We hope you all had a great 4th of July—see you back out there on Monday!

Successful Installation of Traffic Signals on Maine Toll Project

This past week, the Frazier Signal Technologies team made the trip to Saco, Maine for a weeklong installation of mast arms and traffic control equipment.

We were proud to contribute to the Maine Turnpike Authority’s Exit 35 Northbound and Southbound Toll Booth Project. A special thank you to Moulison Heavy Electric for giving us the opportunity to assist with the amazing team making this project happen.

Installation of Traffic Signals

Our scope for this phase included setting multiple mast arms outfitted with traffic signals, emergency preemption systems, and traffic camera hardware.

We’ll be heading back soon to complete a similar installation on the Southbound ramp—and we’re hoping for slightly cooler weather next time!

Completion of Houlton Intersection Project: A Collaborative Success

Over the past several weeks, Frazier Signal Technologies, alongside J. McLaughlin Construction, Street’s Paving, and Powers Line Striping, wrapped up the final touches on the Route 2 / Route 1 Houlton Intersection Project.

Originally started in Fall 2024, the project paused through the winter and reached completion in June 2025. It was a great collaboration from start to finish, and we truly enjoyed being part of it. None of it would have been possible without the teamwork of everyone involved.

Looking forward to teaming up again on the next one!

Wishing you all a great week ahead!
