Why I Started This:
Street Smarts Traffic is a platform I created to share traffic signal knowledge. Follow along with me in the trenches as I fix traffic malfunctions, program traffic devices & create traffic solutions. Now that I'm in my 3rd decade in the traffic signal industry (serving in 2 DOT's (County & State) and a 5 yr stint with a traffic signal distribution company helping customers in field service), this is what I've realized:
There is a need:
o Older generation of traffic signal techs are retiring (taking their knowledge with them) leaving traffic newbies without a foundation.
o Agency directors nominate their Public Works personnel (who are usually novices to traffic signals) to maintain the city's most liability prone assets (you take care of everything else!)
o Many are overwhelmed with advancement in traffic technology
o Since many maintainers struggle to diagnose a signal problem properly, the motoring public are left to fend for themselves.
Sound familiar?
