How to Choose The Right F-Shape Traffic Light Pole for Your Intersection Needs

In urban road traffic management, the design of traffic light poles directly affects the installation, safety and traffic efficiency of signals.F-shape traffic light poles are widely used in complex intersections with multi-direction and wide lanes due to their unique structure and strong load-bearing capacity. However, not all intersections are suitable for the same specification of F-shape light poles. In this article, we will analyze how to choose the right F-shape traffic light pole according to the intersection requirements from the aspects of application environment, structural parameters, functional configuration and so on.

The Structural Characteristics of F-Shape Traffic Light Pole

F-shape traffic light pole usually presents “inverted L-shaped” or “T-shaped” cross-arm structure, with the following advantages:

adjustable length of the cross-arm, suitable for wide roads or multi-lane intersections;

high stability of vertical poles, can carry heavy lamps, cameras and other equipment. High stability of vertical poles, which can carry heavy lamps, cameras and other equipment;

Aesthetically pleasing and harmonized appearance, commonly used in municipal main roads, intelligent transportation systems and other important nodes.

At FAMA Traffic, we offer a wide range of customized sizes (e.g. 6.5m, 7m, 8m, etc.), as well as customized designs in terms of paint color and flange thickness.

Match Light Pole Size to Intersection Type

When choosing an F-type light pole, the first thing you need to do is to determine the size of the pole according to the type of structure of the intersection and the width of the passageway:

For a small cross or d-type intersection, we recommend to use an F-type light pole of about 6 meters, which is suitable for installing a one-way signal with a reminder sign.

For medium-sized cross or intersection, you can choose 6.5 meters to 7 meters of light poles, this type of light poles can support two or three sets of signals.

For large intersections or multi-lane roads, a 7.5 to 8 meter reinforced F-type pole is recommended to accommodate multiple signal boxes, cameras and radar equipment.

FAMA Traffic supports rapid customization according to project drawings, ensuring that the product is precisely matched to the actual installation environment.

Considering the Carrying Function and Load Capacity

Modern ITS usually integrates multiple devices, so F-shape light poles not only need to install signals, but also may need to carry:

1. LED traffic signals

2. countdown monitors

3. network surveillance cameras

4. environmental sensors or radar detectors

5. advertising panels or road signs

When selecting a model, you should focus on evaluating the load capacity of the pole, the span of the cross arm, and whether the mounting holes meet the requirements of the configuration of these devices. FAMA Traffic All products are tested according to national standards for wind load, corrosion prevention and structural stress, and inspection reports can be provided.

Customization of Base Structure and Installation Method

The base structure of the light pole directly affects the installation efficiency and service life, and the following aspects should be paid attention to when selecting the type:

Whether the size and thickness of the flange are matched with the pre-embedded foundation of the road;

Whether the pre-embedded parts of the light pole are convenient for the on-site construction;

If it is a renovation project of the old traffic facilities, the use of quick docking structure can be considered to improve the replacement efficiency.

FAMA Traffic provides perfect installation accessories and drawing support to help customers realize rapid delivery and construction landing.

Conclusion

Choosing F-shape traffic light poles is not only a choice of size and style, but also a key link to traffic operation efficiency and municipal image. It is recommended that customers in the selection of:

Define the structure and functional requirements of the intersection;

Plan the type and weight of the equipment to be carried;

Cooperate with a professional customized capacity of traffic facilities manufacturers.
