- This is a project I’ve wanted to work on for some time now, and I was able to film the whole process! Some do not know I have an interest and a small collection of traffic signals and signs. I know this is a different video than what I normally make, but I hope you all enjoy it! I may even start producing traffic signal content again on this channel.
See my second channel!

I’ve been addicted to led and vintage crosswalks for so long in my life and this vid was so cool
It looks like an actual yellow one ❤️👍
This building is amazing! I like to build pedestrian signal as well!
Do u know how to build a simple pedestrian sign
We have a LOT of those ped signals in Texas
Excellent job! Suggestions
A. The push button
B. The voice telling wait and then a rhythm
Thanks! Yes, I really want to get a push button in the future. If I’m not mistaken, I believe you must have a real controller for the speaking ones. If not though, I wouldn’t mind to get a talking button.
Great video! If you ever do this again you might want to use some 2” rigid conduit and use some separate 14 or 12 AWG conductors and ground the box because that extension cord is only 16AWG stranded but other than that that’s really cool man! Can’t wait to see more! Have a great day!!!
Thanks! I plan to make more traffic signal videos soon. I thought about metallic conduit, but the PVC works fine. The ped signal isn’t all that heavy. Most of these signals aren’t grounded, and the material of the housing isn’t conductive so I didn’t use a ground. I stuck with a typical 16 gauge extension cord because the signal and arduino hardly consume any power, so a thicker wire wouldn’t be necessary.
ExitSign250 got ya sorry if that came off the wrong way but this is definitely a cool area I never thought about traffic and ped signals and how they work! Keep up the great work man!
Great presentation,!!!! Love you style 👍
That’s pretty cool dude! It looks awesome!
I like how you made it
Awesome video! Great setup too!
That type of "visor" is commonly called egg crate.
Awesome!!!! Nice job with the programming!
Awesome! I'm not sure what model ped signal you have, but on mine, there is a plastic cover/cap you can pop off in the back and there are some dip-switches inside. One of the dip-switches allows the signal to remember the count down clearance time even after a power failure. That way it doesn't need to do the learn cycle every time you power it up. It's nice for hobby displays when you power them down all the time. If it does have that, you may want to remove that test cycle when it first powers up. I think that will confuse the computer. FYI I use Arduions also for my displays. Awesome video man!
Thank you very much! I’ll have to check with mine, I wasn’t aware of that feature. If that’s the case I’ll definitely remove the test cycle. Thanks again for the info!
Looks incredible. U wouldn't by any chance know how to ty it to the traffic light modular?
Hey! I'd absolutely love to do this at some point. Did your design the source code? I'd also love to know if the source code is publicly available
I'm really late lol, but really nice work! It looks awesome!
GREAT VIDEO
Do I have to ground myself with a wrist strap to a fire alarm control panel before doing wiring or work on it? Thanks
That’s an unusual practice. Most manufacturers just recommend shutting all power from panels and devices. With all power off, you’ll be completely safe.
Can you place itwith a push button and make a traffic light that communicates to the pedestrian
Very nice job!
This is sweet. I have 2 of these and want to make the same thing. Are you willing to make and sell me the control setup you made? It's perfect.
Great video 👍
Get one of those cheap arduino radio modules, then make another one for the traffic light, link them up in code. I can help code if you need.
This is pretty cool love your video 😍
I want one of these where did you get that
I have a crosswalk signal at home, but i dont know how to program it, can you please send me your code that is on the signal?
I need one for pedestrian safety presentations for work. any ideas on an easy way to set it up to be used without electricity? I have zero idea how to even go about it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
There is no possible way to build one of these that does not use electricity. If you are trying to have this portable without a cord, you could get a battery pack to power the setup.
@@ExitSign250 Sorry I meant with no direct line to electricity, a battery would be ideal. Thank you.
@4:05 Where did you find that base for the pole that screws into the wood? I can’t seem to find anything like that
That is a PVC closet floor flange. I bought mine at Home Depot, and they should be sold in most hardware stores.
Hi. I’m one of your blind viewers. Did you know they make the accessible pedestrian signals that talk?
Hey there! I appreciate you viewing my channel and videos! Yes I have heard of those. I’ve seen some sound devices that will chirp or click to indicate when and when not to walk. I have also seen pedestrian buttons that will give audible directions on when to cross a street as well. I’d like to make a video on these types of pedestrian signals if I can find one. Thank you for your comment!
Hi, How heavy was this signal? I’ve been looking into making a stand for my signals and your video is the only one i can find that shows everything used.
Maybe around 10lb-15lb? I’ve been thinking about making an updated video to this with better materials and a more detailed overview.
@@ExitSign250 That’d be cool to see! Nice little maintenance/overhaul kind of video.
If it happens, I’ll be there!
by the way, nice job with this project. turned out great
@ConnersLightsandSignals Thank you so much! Yep, I’ll definitely put it on my list of videos to work on. I wasn’t sure if anyone would care to see a revised/improved version of this video but you’ve inspired me to work on it.
@@ExitSign250 Thats awesome! I am excited to see what you have in store!
Interesting.
Awesome!
Can you make a 3m traffic light building
Nice! I just bought a potter pfc 6006, just wondering if I need a separate power supply or if the power supply is built in to the panel. Just wondering since you’ve had experience with your 5ud and 9200udls. I don’t want to fry my panel since I got a really good deal on it.
The power supply built in when wired will be enough for the system. That’s how most panels operate.
ExitSign250 thanks!
Howdy! I recently got one of these, and I don't actually know how to wire it up - how to signal it to start counting down. (I'd like to use it as a "I'm in a meeting" indicator, with the countdown timer going down once per minute to indicate how many minutes are left in a meeting.)
That sounds like a neat project! But unfortunately these types of pedestrian signals do not work that way. This style counts down by itself, meaning you cannot manually control the numbers. The signal counts how many times the hand flashes, then it will display the correct time to display during the flashing don’t walk phase. I believe there are some standalone countdown timers out there that you can manually control the numbers, but most styles are not like that.
@@ExitSign250 oooh, I see. dang! I might have to cut this thing open and replace some of its guts, I guess. I'll lose the authenticity, but gain a neat thing!
Yep! With some modifications you should be able to get it to function how you want. I think it’s still a very neat idea! I’ve never seen or heard anything like it.
@@ExitSign250 I've heard that it usually takes a cycle for the countdown timer to "learn" based on the number of hand flashes. It would seem a sequencer of some sort is obligatory. I just picked up a NIB GE countdown module that has the countdown jumpers in back for testing and normal operation.
Depending on the brand, it will ether take the signal one or two cycles to learn the countdown timing. This is then reset when the signal looses power for more than a few seconds. Other brands allow the option for the signal to “remember” the countdown time so the 1-2 “learning” phases aren’t required.
Cool!
Nice
Can I have the source code for the program?
I still don’t understand how the controller works the countdown? Like specifically if I was to build my own controller I could make a timed switch between walking man and hand but how does it countdown?
The pedestrian signal itself counts down. My controller simply pulses the hand on and off 20 times. Modern hand/man signals with countdowns will count how many times the hand is pulsed and display it when it goes into the flashing don’t walk phase.
It self learns. Basically you need to have some kind of controller such as an Arduino or a raspberry Pi to be able to flash the hand signal a specific amount of times. I programed mine to count down from 30 seconds. So I told the Arduino to flash the hand on for .5 seconds, and off for .5 seconds 30 times, and then leave the hand on solid for 10 seconds, and then Walk for 10 seconds and this just loops continuously.
Once it goes through one cycle the onboard computer separate from the Arduino learns how many seconds to count down from. So once you program it, the first time around you won't see a countdown. But the second time through you should see one if its programed correctly because it needs to learn what you have told it to do. I hope that helps. I have the Arduino code I used just let me know if you want to use it.
@@CarsonCreatesStuff can I get the code u used ?
@@andykretchek2809 this is a video I made. In the description of my video is the code I used.

Where can I get one of these
Just so cool! How hard was that to program?
Thanks! I had to learn how the Arduino worked and how the program functioned. That would be the hardest part. The actual programming part was easy for me.
This is the code I wrote for mine with an Arduino.
int W = 7;
int DW = 6;
//W is Walk, DW is Dont Walk
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(W,OUTPUT);
pinMode(DW,OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
for (int x=0;x
cool
JUST saw your vid. Have seveal of these and diff models. I AM in florida . if you in southeast us let me know And i drop them off. Or meet up somewhere.
You’re not spray painting it correctly, but otherwise, cool.
Not spray painting correctly? Hmm, interesting. Never heard that before.
You were spraying painting too close to the casing and it can cause uneven coats or drips to appear, here’s a tutorial I found in how to spray paint correctly if you’re interested: czcams.com/video/qB_MtpaMYaY/video.html
I think it’s fine. Ether way it would’ve turned out great regardless of how close I sprayed it.
