Documenting Signal Structure Inspections in TSAMS

PennDOT's Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) recently published Technical Information Sheet #202: Documenting Signal Structure Inspections in PennDOT's Traffic Signal Asset Management System. In response to a recent traffic signal structure pole, PennDOT has recommended municipalities inspect and document the condition of their traffic signal poles. The LTAP Tech Sheet has step-by-step instructions for using TSAMS for that purpose. 

LTAP's Fall 2020 newsletter also includes article by PennDOT structural engineer Timothy Carre with more background on the pole failure and recommended inspection practices.
