About this file
This document is a Traffic Control Standard specification from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LA DOTD), specifically Traffic Control Standard Number 155 for TS-2 Traffic Signal Cabinets. The standard details comprehensive requirements for ground mount and pole mount traffic signal cabinet assemblies, which must comply with NEMA Standards Publication TS 2-2021. The specification covers two primary cabinet configurations: a ground mount cabinet (Product ID 51050) with a 16-position load bay and a pole mount cabinet (Product ID 51060) with a 12-position load bay. Both cabinet types require specific components including power supplies, override panels, detector panels, load bay panels, communication equipment, and a Malfunction Management Unit 2 (MMU2).
The specification provides extremely detailed technical requirements for each cabinet component, including electrical specifications, wiring standards, mounting configurations, and performance expectations. Each cabinet must include a two-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in design, materials, and workmanship. The document specifies precise dimensions, materials (unpainted aluminum), environmental tolerances, and integration capabilities with existing traffic control systems. Cabinets must be compatible with Type 1 and Type 2 NEMA TS 2 Cubic/TrafficWare Series 900 ATC controllers, though controllers are not included with the cabinet assemblies. Additional requirements cover ventilation, interior lighting, cable management, GPS integration, and documentation to be provided with each cabinet.
