Ward street is the first crossing in Wellington to have double-gates! Freshly installed, following an upgrade to the rest of the crossing equipment last year.
The traffic lights will go red when a train comes since the traffic lights and the level crossing signals are connected as we have level crossings like that down here.
Hey are you gonna make a video with the traffic lights after they’re installed and up and running? Just wondering because I am curious on how the traffic lights would work on a level crossing.
I noticed that one set of lights on the traffic light pole is Montrose of Penrose. Do you plan on filming this crossing again when the traffic lights and the additional lights are running?
Yes, as I want to see how the traffic lights are programmed. I didn't notice that myself. I wonder if perhaps these may have been recycled units? (Maybe from the closed pedestrian crossing?)
Why is all the equipment original, but programmable for traffic lights? Is the equipment compatible with, say, third-party signals or signal standards? Also, in Western Australia, a more British style backboard is used. 4:39 Do you have LEDs on crossing buttons?
Not too sure what you are referring to for most of that, can you be more specific. No, our cross buttons do not have LEDs (though I personally think they should!)
@@the_alex_ellis_channel6923 The signals are made by the same person as the rail crossing. Is there a specific reason for it? In Australia sometimes the pedestrian crossings have LEDs which I think let you know the crossing light has been activated.
@@westburnworld We have lots of brands of traffic lights here in Melbourne, Victoria: Aldridge ATS, Braums, Bob Panich, Aldridge Electrical Industries, AWA, Excelsior and Tyco, and some rare ones: Kalington
@@davidlurhfan2005 I think it's so cool that you have the works over in Melbourne like a Tyco/Aldridge crossover or a Kallington which is fitted on an Aldridge which is typically found with Tyco or Braums
@@westburnworld Not to mention that some of our crosswalk buttons have something that other states of Australia doesn't have. Some buttons' sound system are a hammer hitting a metal object inside instead of a computerised electronic buzzer/beeper.
