Dear LTAP Users,
Join LTAP for the Traffic Pole Inventory and Inspection to Reduce the Risk of FailureVirtual Drop-in on Tuesday, June 23, from Noon to 1 p.m.
REGISTER HERE
On April 13, 2020, a traffic signal pole failed and fell onto the roadway. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the base of the pole had extensive corrosion and loss of structural steel material leading to the collapse. In Pennsylvania, in accordance with §6122(a)(2) of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code (75 Pa. C.S.), traffic signals are owned, operated, and maintained by the municipality having jurisdiction over the intersection, regardless of whether the roads are State or Municipal owned.
During this session, local owners will have the opportunity to learn about inventory and inspection of traffic poles. Participants will hear about collecting and storing inventory data with PennDOT’s Traffic Asset Management System. Participants will also be presented with what to look for during an inspection, and what inspection findings must be addressed immediately and what should be programmed. You will have an opportunity to sharing your ideas, thoughts, and experiences in real time with the group about traffic poles in a cost-effective way.
This is a new series of weekly LTAP Virtual Drop-ins centered on various safety and maintenance topics. These sessions are not virtual classes; they are informal one-hour live sessions focused on networking and sharing information with other municipal roadway personnel. Whether you’re new to the virtual world or have lots of experience, you will enjoy meeting up online with LTAP staff and other municipal staff to learn and discuss information critical to your job.
LTAP staff will start the session with a short presentation and then open the discussion to attendees to ask questions and share their experiences. LTAP will guide the discussion to keep it focused and accurate.
Note: The Drop-ins are not eligible for Roads Scholar credits.
Sincerely, Your LTAP Administrator *** Questions? Please call 1-800-FOR-LTAP for assistance. ***
