Some years ago I wrote an article for a traffic signal magazine on how the NEC applies to traffic signals, not the NESC. I recently got this email:
"Since the Traffic Signal & Lighting systems are in the public r-o-w, why do you perceive them as being administered by the NEC, and therefore the local electrical inspectors, when the NESC was designed to cover all things in the r-o-w.
Would this also mean, in your view, that utilities would now need to pull Permits from the local EI’s, and that every road project would need to be inspected and approved by these EI’s.
It appears that most if not all of the situations you cite make sense and should be considered by the Traffic Signal mftrs., designers, and installers, but ruled by the NEC, I think not."
For those of you who work on or install traffic signals, are you under the NEC or NESC?
Thanks
