Traffic Signals on Wolf Hill Road

Wolf Hill Road is town of Huntington owned road running from New York Avenue in Melville to Deer Park Avenue (NYS Route 231) in Dix Hills. A total of 11 traffic signals (10 town owned, 1 state owned) are currently in operation on the road, along with one set of school flashers and a rapid flashing beacon. Among the town owned signals, all of them from Crandon Street onward east to its terminus are LED signals on mast arms (with the exception of Signal 2169A) which communicate with each other through wireless radios. The 2 remaining incand signals at New York Avenue and Melville Road are scheduled to be replaced with the same technology in the summer of 2018.

History
Signals 2020A and 2026A were possibly first established before TOH began to use number designations, 2062A was likely constructed in the 80's. The signals at Melrose Road, Crandon Street and Caledonia Road were most likely all built at the same time, for their numbers are 2081A, 2089A and 2090A, as well as their first known signal designs were very similar. 2116A at Carman Road and 2142A at Winthrop Drive possibly were built around the 90s.

Signal 2169A, located at the off ramp for Exit 41 on the Northern State Parkway E/B and the on ramp for E/B, was built in the late 2000's, and was the first LED town signal on the road. 2178A at the exit to Hills West High High School, was built in the early 2010's.

In the mid-2010's, and brand new type of signal technology was installed in front of Birchwood Intemediate School, known as a rapid flashing beacon. These beacons would alert drivers of pedestrians using non-protected crosswalks. This rapid flashing beacon is known as 2196F, and is the first of its kind, the only other two in Huntington are 2212F on Larkfield Road and a state owned one on NYS Route 108 in Cold Spring Harbor.

The Wolf Hill Road Project
In the early 2010's, a project went underway to replace all the aging incad bulb signals on Wolf Hill Road with newer LED signals, heads on mast arm mounts, and PED head crosswalks from 2081A to 2142A. Every signal would utilize overhead detection and wireless radios would be used for every signal in the section to communicate, with 2169A and 2178A being retrofitted with the same radios. Construction was finished on all 6 signals by 2012.

2018 reconstructions
In 2017, plans were laid down to replace Signal 2020A, one of the last two aging signals on Wolf Hill Road. After a later analysis was done on the area (Wolf Hill Road has a major traffic problem approaching New York Avenue), the town officially added Signal 2062A, the last remaining incad signal, to the overall plan. 2020A will be done first, alongside the neighboring 2055A on New York Avenue at the same time, followed immediatley by 2062A. Once complete, all Wolf Hill Road signals will communicate with each other via wireless radios.
