How to choose a right traffic signal pole?
When choosing the right traffic signal pole, there are several factors to consider:
- The height of the pole:We need to determine the height of the signal traffic pole. It accord to the traffic flow and vehicle speed at the intersection. Under normal circumstances, the height of the signal pole at the high-speed intersection is higher. So that the vehicle can see the signal lamp far away, while the low speed intersection can choose a shorter signal pole.
- Traffic signal pole height requirements:
- Layout scale: the main road scale is 1500mm*450mm, the total height is 3000mm; The scale of the secondary trunk is 1200mm*360mm, and the total height is 2500mm.The main road pole scale: a single diameter of 89mm hot plated tube, the bottom of the plate surface 2500mm from the ground.
- The secondary trunk pole size: a single diameter 76mm hot plated tube, the bottom of the plate face from the ground 2140mm.
- Material of the pole:The material of the traffic signal pole is generally steel, aluminum alloy and composite material. Steel signal poles are more common and have higher strength and stability. Aluminum alloy rods are lightweight and resistant to corrosion. It is suitable for using in areas with high humidity. The composite light pole has good corrosion resistance and insulation properties, and is suitable for wet and high humidity environment.
- The foundation of the pole:Choosing the right signal pole also needs to consider the foundation of the pole. Under normal circumstances, the foundation of the signal pole can choose two kinds of reinforced concrete base and anchor bolts. Reinforced concrete bases are suitable for situations. Anchor bolts are suitable for temporary signal light installation.
- The installation position of the pole:we need to determine the installation position of the signal light pole according to the specific situation of the intersection. In general, we should install the signal pole next to the road. To ensure the driver can see lamp holder clearly. In addition, the signal pole can not block the traffic sign or line of sight, to ensure the safety of vehicles and pedestrians.
- Other factors:When choosing a signal pole, some other factors are important as well. For example, whether the traffic signal pole has a night reflective function, remotely controlled and intelligent control.
