Signal 2002A: Pulaski Road at Elwood Road

Signal 2002A is a traffic signal located at the intersection of Pulaski Road and Elwood Road in East Northport.

History
It is unknown how many reconstructions there have been on Signal 2002A but the earliest one known was used up until 2017. The signal consisted of two 4-way heads, all 12" housing incad bulbs, with a Left Turn Arrow for E/B traffic. Following a project to save costs on electricity, these bulbs were replaced with LED inserts, just like all other older signals on Pulaski Road.

2017 Reconstruction (The Elwood Road Project)
In 2016, Suffolk County began a project which would repair the entire infrastructure of Elwood Road, with new sidewalks, underground sewer systems and all traffic signals owned by the town being replaced with newer ones. All new signals were turned on in Spring 2017, with 2002A being the last signal to have reconstruction completed on account of the higher volume of traffic located at the intersection.

Design
The current 2002A design, used since 2017, is a span wire signal with all 12" LED heads equipped with reflective backing plates, complete left turn signal coverage and PED heads on all four sides. All 8 of these PED heads are on their own 10' poles, making 2002A the town signal with the most PED poles. A right turn signal attachment is used for eastbound traffic on Pulaski Road since there is a separate right turn lane. The signal is controlled by a standard Caltrans 336S cabinet and is in closed loop communication with Signal 2155A located to the north at Northport High School.
