Inside the Signal Shop

December 9, 2025 · 25 min

Show notes

Every time we pull up to an intersection and the light cycles smoothly from green, to yellow, to red, there is literally a team behind that moment - those who work behind the scenes in our NYSDOT Signal Shops.


In this episode of the DOT POD, we are stepping into a world that most drivers rarely think about...until the lights go out. We are talking about traffic signals at one of our many signal shops.


Josh and Anya are joined by Jess Muller and Don Paciello from the Mohawk Valley Signal Shop, about how they maintain all those signals as well as the communications systems that tie everything together.
