AZ DOT installs STC advance flasher

24Hr Intersection Advance Solar Flasher Flagstaff, AZ - Solar Traffic ControlsTEMPE, AZ - 01/04/2012 - On short notice, ADOT added a Solar Traffic Controls solar-powered advance flasher for a new traffic signal installation in Flagstaff. The project consisted of a single unit with double 12-inch beacons located in advance of the Fort Valley and Shultz Pass Road intersection.

With a curve in the road limiting visibility on eastbound Fort Valley Road, it was decided that an advance flasher with a W3-3 sign was in order. One of the big problems: a power feed from the intersection would have been too expensive since a major utility right-of-way crossed there with high pressure gas lines and fiber optics. A more affordable and timely option to the AC connection was a solar-powered beacon.

STC president, Joe Wise, went along for the install to provide training on the installation and operation of the flasher. All ADOT personnel in attendance received TARP points for the time spent on the installation.
