Securely attach and protect ground wire furnished as part of another work item with a wood or plastic molding for a minimum distance of 10 feet (3 m) above groundline.
632.18 Down Guy Assembly. Install and tension guy assemblies before erecting signals such that they will resist the major portion of the horizontal loading caused by loading of the messenger wire.
632.19 Pedestal. Furnish pedestals for the support of traffic control equipment with a cast or plate steel base, unless a transformer type base is specified.
632.20 Conduit Riser. Attach risers to poles to provide a wiring raceway and include a weatherhead, conduit, necessary fittings, and pole attached clamps. Attach risers to poles by clamps spaced at intervals not exceeding 5 feet (1.5 m). Paint conduit risers mounted on painted poles to match the poles.
632.21 Cable Support Assembly. Use cable support assemblies to eliminate strain on cables, or groups of cables up to a maximum of four, entering the interior of poles through a weatherhead or mast arm. If required, include a length of messenger wire forming a sling with ends formed of lapped wire, thimbles, and clamps as part of the assembly.
632.22 Messenger Wire. Arrange messenger wire with accessories between two or more poles to provide support and attachment for traffic control equipment. Accessories used with messenger wire include bullrings, thimbles, preformed guy grip dead ends, and three bolt clamps. Furnish bullrings at messenger wire network corners. Use thimbles to attach messenger wire to the shackles of strain pole clamps and bullrings.
Adjust the length of the messenger wire under the load of traffic control equipment so the sag at the lowest point is not greater than 5 percent or less than 3 percent of the span. Attach signal cable to messenger wire with lengths of preformed helical lashing rod that are of a proper internal diameter to tightly secure the cable to the messenger wire.

Safety ties shall be installed at all yielding (S-hook) locations to prevent the span end from dropping into the roadway if the S-hook opens. No electrical or communication cables of any kind shall be attached to the tether wire. No signs or other devices shall be suspended from or attached to the tether wire.
632.23 Cable and Wire. Fashion cable at traffic signal equipment weatherhead entrance fittings into a drip loop that extends at least 6 inches (150 mm) below the entrance. Do not allow the cable to chafe on the equipment. Support cables installed in strain poles and signal supports with cable support assemblies according to 632.21.
Do not use splices in any cable or wire, except at the following locations:
A. At the junction of detector wire and lead-in cable.
B. At the junction of power cable and the power supply source or service cable.
C. On long lengths of interconnect or service cable.
For splices allowed in aerial installations, accomplish splicing in weather tight splice enclosures. For splices allowed in underground installations, accomplish splicing in pull boxes or poles where the splice is encapsulated with poured waterproof epoxy insulation according to 725.15.
Install signal cable between signal heads and controller cabinets, and install interconnect cable between controller cabinets of different intersections. Route signal and interconnect cable by aerial installation supported by messenger wire or within underground conduit. If specified, use aerial self-supporting integral messenger type interconnect cable with a figure “8” cross-section and include pole clamps and splice enclosures. Ground the supporting messenger wire of interconnect cable.
Provide loop detector wire consisting of detector wire inserted into flexible plastic tubing. Ensure that the tubing encases the wire continuously from the splice at the lead-in cable, through the entire loop turns, and back to the splice. Install loop detector wire in sawn roadway slots forming loops according to 632.11. Furnish the required number of turns of wire installed for each loop, and push the wire carefully into the slots with a blunt tool to avoid damaging the tubing. Run the wire continuously around the loop perimeter and through a slot leading to the pavement edge and by underground conduit to a roadside pull box or pole with 5 feet (1.5 m) at each end for slack and splice. Uniformly twist wires and tubing installed in the conduit to the splice with lead-in cable at 3 to 5 turns per foot (10 to 16 turns per meter). Splice the loop ends to lead-in cable, which is connected to the controller cabinet. Join the wires by a mutually twisted in-line splice, rosin core soldered, and wrapped in vinyl or equivalent electrical tape, and encapsulate wires with an approved poured waterproof epoxy insulated splice according to 725.15. Extend and seal the tubing ends into the poured epoxy splice. Also, solder crimped terminals to the conductors and the shield for connections inside the cabinet.
For magnetometer sensor probe installations, splice the leads from the probes to the specified lead-in cable by the same method. Route lead-in cable within underground conduit or by aerial installation supported by messenger wire.
Install power cable from the power supply source to the controller cabinet. If multi-conductor power cable is specified, the Contractor may substitute multiple single conductors.
Install service cable aerially from a remote power source to the vicinity of the controller cabinet with the support cable functioning as the electrical neutral. Furnish connections used with aluminum power or service cable of an approved type for aluminum to aluminum or aluminum to copper connections, and insulate connections with an approved vinyl mastic pad.
632.24 Power Service. Furnish and install all equipment necessary to provide complete electrical service to each signal installation as shown on the plans. Make all necessary arrangements with the local electrical power company for connections to establish electrical service. Charges made by the power company for establishing of the account, extension of company facilities, connection of customer equipment to the power company facilities and energy will be borne by the maintaining agency.
Power service consists of equipment to provide a pole attached wiring raceway and disconnect switch for use with power cable routed from the service entrance to the controller cabinet. The power service installation includes a weatherhead, conduit and fittings, a disconnect switch with enclosure, meter base and attachment clamps.
Bend the conduit away from the pole at the top and bottom of the riser to allow the conduit to enter straight into the enclosure or meter base hub, and to provide space for the weatherhead when the riser is pulled tight against the pole. Furnish watertight conduit connections between the meter base and enclosure by using conduit hubs listed on the enclosure UL label.
Paint conduit risers mounted on painted poles to match the poles.
632.25 Covering of Vehicular and Pedestrian Signal Heads. Cover vehicular signal heads if erected at intersections where traffic is maintained before energizing the signals. Cover pedestrian signal heads when specified in the plans. Use a sturdy opaque covering material and method of covering and cover attachment as approved by the Engineer. Maintain covers, and remove and dispose of them when directed by the Engineer.
632.26 Removal of Traffic Signal Installation. Remove signal heads, cable, messenger wire, strain poles, cabinet, controller, or other incidental items required by the Engineer. Remove support foundations to at least 1-foot (0.3 m) below subgrade or finished groundline. Backfill, restore surfaces, and dispose of surplus material according to 603.12. Store removed items on the project for salvage by the maintaining agency, or reuse removed items as part of a new installation on the project under another item of work. Dispose of all items not designated for salvage or reuse. As specified in 614.03, do not remove signals until a new signal system or a temporary traffic control method approved by the Engineer is in operation. Suitably protect stored equipment.
632.27 Reuse of Traffic Signal Equipment. Reinstall or re-erect specified traffic equipment, removed from existing signal installations within the project. Clean and restore reused equipment to an operating condition, and relamp signals with the proper type and size lamp. Furnish all additional hardware and incidentals necessary to allow reuse of the equipment.
A. General. Furnish all personnel and equipment required to successfully perform the following tests, and furnish to the Engineer six certified copies of complete test records, test reporting forms supplied by the Engineer, or alternate certification approved by the Engineer.
B. Ground Test. Measure each ground rod for earth resistance according to 625.19, except that measurements are not necessary immediately after installation.
C. Short-Circuit Test. Before performing any cable insulation tests or performance test, perform a short-circuit test with a volt-ohmmeter or other approved instrument. Conduct short-circuit tests with electrical loads, power sources, equipment grounds, and earth grounds disconnected. Test signal cable routed to signal heads with connections made to lamp sockets without lamps installed. Measure each conductor against every other conductor and ground to ensure that no short-circuits, cross-circuits, or other improper connections exist. Ensure that continuity does not exist between any conductor and another conductor including ground.
D. Circuit Continuity Test. Temporarily jumper each circuit branch at its termination and the temporarily looped circuit measured for continuity to ensure that no open circuits exist, that the circuit branch is according to plan, that no high resistance connections exist, and that each circuit is properly identified. Test the lead-in cable for loop detector wire before and after splicing the cable to the loop wire. As an alternative, perform the circuit continuity testing of signal head cable by applying 120 volts to each outgoing circuit and observing that only the proper lamps are lighted.
E. Cable Insulation Test. Ensure that the insulation resistance measured to ground is not less than 10 megohms for each conductor of cable or wire terminating at the controller cabinet. Perform insulation testing with all conductors disconnected from their points on the terminal blocks. Measure insulation resistance for the wire of roadway loops after the embedding of the wire with sealant in slots. Include a list of the resistance readings for each conductor in the test results. After completing the cable insulation test, connect all cabinet wiring according to the wiring diagram. Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Engineer that all circuits are continuous and operating correctly with freedom from shorts, crosses, and unintentional grounds.
F. Functional Test. Before the 10-day performance test begins, make the following checks and demonstrate to the Engineer that the system is ready for the performance test. Ensure that the incoming AC voltage is a nominal 120 volts. If the supplied voltage under load is less than 100 or more than 130 VAC, contact the power company to arrange correction. Ensure that the cabinet ventilating fan, fan thermostat, and convenience outlet with lamp is operational. Correct timing settings on the controller as shown on the plans. Check all cabinet switches including the power on/off switch and flash switch. Check all controller functions to verify correct operation. Check the detector units to determine which pavement loop is associated with which detector unit. Check the visual indication of detector units to determine that each vehicle class (truck, car, or motorcycle) entering sensor areas is detected on the associated detector unit and that no extraneous calls occur when the sensor area is vacant. Check the flash switch to verify transfer of signal operation to flash and return to stop-and-go. Check the conflict monitor to verify that it is not activated by normal signal operations or by the manipulation of cabinet switches. If the monitor is activated, determine the cause of the problem and make appropriate changes and adjustments before beginning the performance test. Test the conflict monitor by artificially causing a number of different conflicting indications, and verify that at each test the monitor causes the signals to begin flashing and places the controller in a “stop timing” mode. Obtain artificial causation either by touching a jumper wire between two conflicting load switch outputs or by other methods approved by the Engineer. Ensure that the signal flashes when the monitor is disconnected.
G. Performance Test. At least 7 days before the performance test begins, notify the Engineer of the starting date. The Engineer will notify the maintaining agency. Before acceptance, operate the traffic control system continuously for 10 consecutive days without major malfunction or failure. Immediately replace or repair minor failures (such as lamps, a single detector unit, or an individual signal head, etc.) that do not cause restart of the test. Major malfunctions or failures (such as a master or local controller, interconnect equipment, etc.) will cause termination of the test and, after replacement or repair, the beginning of a new 10-day test. Monitor items that have been repaired or that are replacements for a 10-day period to provide assurance of their reliability. Record, for inclusion in the test result, the method and date of correction of each fault, and the beginning and end of the test.
