Traffic lights are essential technological tools for controlling road traffic and freeing up police resources. The traffic light pole is the main part that is necessary for the traffic light to function as a whole.
The main components of an urban road traffic signal pole are the steel pole, foundation, cantilever, support arm, tie rod, and fasteners. The signal pole installation details are shown below.

Motor Vehicle Traffic Signal Poles:
Round or polygonal hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are recommended for motor vehicle traffic signals. A cover plate, waterproof visor, fixing screws, and a cable hole that is between 0.3 and 1.0 meters above the ground should all be present. The lamp installation location should have a cable outlet hole in addition to a rubber sheath and cable return bend hook. The top of the pole should have a waterproof cap made of plastic or corrosion-resistant metal, and the bottom of the pole should have a fixed flange welded to it. Welding reinforcing ribs between the flange and the pole should be done uniformly.
Traffic Signal Poles for Non-Motorized Vehicle Lanes:
Round hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are the best material for traffic signal poles for non-motorized vehicles. It is recommended to install a cable hole between 0.3 and 0.8 meters above the floor.
Pedestrian Crossing Signal Light Poles:
Round hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are the best material for pedestrian crossing signal light poles. Between 0.2 and 0.5 meters above the ground should be a cable threading hole.
Cantilever, Support Arm, Tie Rod, and Fixing Components:
Cantilever poles and support rods can be made using round or polygonal variable cross-section profiles. A fixed flange should be welded to the connection end of the light pole and cantilever. A cable hole for the cantilever's inlet and outlet should be present.
With years of experience in the field and strict quality control, Phoebus specializes in custom-made traffic signal poles. We concentrate on producing a complete line of signal poles, including frame-type, integrated, double-cantilever, and single-cantilever models, that are appropriate for a variety of traffic situations, including highways, intersections, urban main roads, and industrial park roads.
Our products use high-quality Q235 steel, CNC cutting, seamless welding, and hot-dip galvanizing + powder coating processes. They withstand winds of up to level 10, are corrosion-resistant, rust-proof, weather-resistant, and have a service life exceeding 15 years. We support customization of pole height (3-12 meters), arm length, and flange dimensions based on intersection width, number of traffic lights, and installation environment, strictly adhering to traffic engineering standards to ensure stable installation and safe operation.
With a full production line and testing apparatus, Phoebus performs complete quality control from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of completed goods, rejecting any that are flawed. Our direct supply model offers more competitive prices by doing away with middlemen.
