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.

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.

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!

Exploring Frazier Signal Technologies’ Work Across Maine

We’re often asked what kind of territory Frazier Signal Technologies covers.

The short answer? It’s not simple!

Just this week, one of our crews was down in Kittery at the Maine State Police weigh station, removing an aging transformer and upgrading light fixtures to LED.

At the same time, another crew was delivering materials for an upcoming Maine DOT traffic signal project in Fort Kent to our friends and partners at LaJoie Electric.

From one end of the state to the other, no two days are ever the same — and that’s what keeps the ride exciting here in Maine!

Wishing everyone a great week ahead!

Essential Traffic Signal Maintenance for Municipalities

It’s July—and that means more than just summer. It’s also time for annual preventative traffic signal equipment maintenance.

Traffic Signal Maintenance

If your municipality has traffic signals, pedestrian crossings, or flashing beacons—or you’re considering updating aging infrastructure—now is the time to reach out.

At Frazier Signal Technologies, we offer annual preventative maintenance plans, equipment inspections, and free estimates for modernization projects. Our team works closely with local municipalities and the Maine Department of Transportation to help ensure your community takes full advantage of available grant funding programs.

Many equipment issues we identify during our maintenance inspections aren’t visible from the ground, but early detection can prevent costly failures and keep your systems running smoothly.

Enhancing Traffic Safety: Traffic Solutions by Frazier Signal

Traffic Safety

Over the past several weeks, the Frazier Signal Technologies crew has been busy across the state, tackling traffic safety projects big and small.

Recent highlights include collaborations with one of our trusted contractor partners, Maine Construction Solutions.

• In Bangor, we teamed up to install a new traffic cabinet foundation near the Bangor Water Department after the original was damaged in a traffic accident.

• In Hampden, at the I-95 rest area, we relocated a light pole base to reduce the risk of future strikes by large commercial vehicles—a proactive move to enhance safety and reliability.

If you’re in need of construction services, earthwork, or forestry site prep, Maine Construction Solutions (Anthony Cote Russell Hayden) is a name you can trust.

Thanks for following along, and we hope everyone has a great week!

Annual Traffic Signal Inspections: A Safety Necessity

These are a few of the signals we were called to address to this week.

Prolonged windy conditions can negatively impact signals mounted on span wires. Leading to issues like cracked housings and loosened support connections.

It’s not uncommon for support arms on signals to loosen, causing the signal housing to separate. Similarly, signals made of polycarbonate (plastic) are prone to developing cracks in their housing. This can result in a similar

separation. Both situations pose a significant danger to motorists and traffic signal inspections can help mitigate those dangers. We recommend annual traffic signal inspections and maintenance, along with the preventative installation of a stabilizer plate to minimize housing cracks.
