Back to base.
Yesterday (July 1st) as I went past the flashing school zone lights on The Kingsway Miranda opposite University rd, they weren't flashing and it was school zone time.
It was very close to 4.00pm so I thought maybe my timepiece was out.
This afternoon at 2.45pm they weren't working.
Hhow long they have been faulty is anyone's guess.
This same set was out for a week once before.
Meanwhile Peter Olsen's "el cheapo" lights in Lurgano and Peakhurst have been 100% reliable for three years, (apart from RTA installed power supply faults)
The RTA and Roads minister make a big deal out of the necessity of having "back to base" fault monitoring on the flashing light units.
Maybe because of the reliability of the preferred expensive units maybe they do need this feature.
UPDATE JULY 3
At 3.45pm this afternoon the afore mentioned flashing lights were back in operation.
Repaired .. or is it intermittent fault?
