From YouTube: Where's Brian?
Description
This is the first epsode where Brian has had CyRide busses driving under him while he's in the air. Do you know where Brian is today?
A
On
today's
episode
of
where's
Brian
we're
working
with
the
division
that
helps
everyone
get
where
they're
going
in
dozens
of
locations
throughout
town,
their
equipment
operates
24
hours
a
day
and
seven
days
a
week.
Do
you
know
where
I
am
today,
I'm
brian
phillips?
On
most
days,
I
work
in
an
office
for
the
aim
city
manager,
since
starting
here,
I've
learned
a
lot
about
the
different
job
city.
Employees
have
many
of
them.
A
Part
of
the
public
works
department,
the
transportation
division
serves
the
community
by
providing
facilities
which
enhance
the
movement
of
people
within
the
city.
This
system
provides
for
the
orderly
flow
of
vehicles,
bicycles
and
pedestrians
through
all
parts
of
the
community.
Today,
we'll
be
working
with
some
new
twists
on
an
old
idea.
Traffic
signals.
A
B
A
B
A
couple
of
new
technologies
that
we
have
at
our
traffic
signals
is
the
flashing
yellow
arrow
and
the
flashing.
Yellow
arrow
really
is
a
signal
indication
that
replaces
the
green
ball
so
before
when
you'd
have
a
green
ball,
you
need
to
have
a
left
turn
lane
you'd
have
to
yield
to
oncoming
traffic.
Now
that
indication
is
replaced
with
the
flashing
yellow
arrow.
So
it's
a
pretty
simple
change.
It's
a
change
that
came
about
in
the
new
2009
manual
on
uniform
traffic
control
devices,
which
is
what
we
use
as
our
standard
for
traffic
control
devices
and.
A
B
Right
well
with
the
other
new
regulations
that
we
have
pertain
to
visually
impaired
for
a
TA.
So
in
order
to
meet
that
requirement,
we
have
push
buttons
that
are
audible
and
vibrotactile,
which
means
that
they
vibrate
when
they
push.
And
then
they
also
speak
a
message
for
people
who
are
visually
impaired
or
if
they
have
reduced
site.
A
B
B
That
one
is
a
new
installation
that
the
school
district
is
actually
installing
okay
as
part
of
the
new
middle
school
great.
So
what
are
we
going
to
be
doing
today?
What
we're
going
to
be
going
and
we're
going
to
be
changing
out
a
yellow
indication,
okay
and
I.
Think
what
we're
going
to
do
is
just
see
how
that's
done
and
give
you
kind
of
the
run-through
of
what
we
do
on
a
daily
basis.
B
Anytime
you're
doing
work
in
the
right
of
way.
You
need
to
wear
type
to
vest,
okay,
which
is
a
yellow
safety,
vest
with
a
certain
amount
of
reflective
material
on
it.
All
of
our
workers,
you'll
see
any
any
city
worker
that's
out
in
the
right-of-way
doing
their
job
is
going
to
have
that
vest
on
okay.
A
C
Right,
Brian
part
of
the
year
I,
spend
my
time
up
here.
Doing
maintenance
on
our
traffic
signals.
The
city
of
Ames
has
approximately
70
full
functioning
traffic
signals.
On
top
of
that,
we
also
maintain
a
handful
of
mid-block
school
crossing
signals
and
school
flashers.
So
this
is
where
I
spend
some
of
my
time
during
the
days.
Okay
and
just.
A
C
Safety
equipment-
that's
required
when
we're
up
in
the
air
are
these
safety
harnesses
and,
as
you
can
see,
they're
tied
off
to
the
boom.
Also
anytime,
we're
working
out
in
the
roadway
are
right
away:
we're
required
to
wear
these
class
to
safety
vests
and
also,
once
we
start
working
on
the
live
electricity
here
in
a
minute,
we
were
our
safety
gloves.
Okay,.
A
C
A
C
A
C
Well,
there's
certain
times
certain
signals
that
burn
out.
If
there's
not
a
duplicate
of
that
signal
on
the
signal,
pull
it'll
just
be
a
dark
spot.
So
what
will
happen
is
a
lot
of
times
motorists
will
call
in
to
the
Public
Works
office,
and
that
number
is
239
5550
to
report
that
a
lights
out
and
then
will
respond
as
soon
as
we
know
about
it
to
replace
that
light.
Other
signals,
as
I
mentioned,
if
there's
only
one
green
arrow.
C
C
C
C
C
A
A
C
C
A
C
Right
Brian,
we
always
we
always
do
a
good
job
to
set
up
a
temporary
work
zone.
What
that
involves
is
setting
up
a
truck
that
has
an
arrow
board
which
can
show
the
traffic
which
way
you
want
them
to
go
of
the
truck,
and
we
always
make
sure
we
have
plenty
of
cones
out
to
just
give
head
traffic
a
heads
up
that
we're
out
there
make
a
conscious
of
the
fact
that
we're
in
the
area
and
that's.
A
C
Brian
sometimes
win
the
lights.
If
there's
a
component
with
the
lights
that
fails,
the
signal
go
into
four-way
flash.
So
it's
important
to
remember
that
when
the
signal
is
in
four-way
flash,
you
treat
it
as
a
four-way.
Stop
sign.
Okay.
So
that's
a
that's
one,
important
thing
to
remember
and
also
there's
times
if
on
rare
occurrences
will
lose
power
to
the
signal
and
the
signal
will
be
dark.
So
it's
also
good
to
remember
if
a
signals
dark
to
treat
it
as
a
stop
sign.
C
Also,
so
everybody
comes
to
a
stop
and
then
take
turns
going
through
the
intersection,
also
in
rare
occurrences.
If
we
have
a
bad
snowstorm
or
something
you
might
see,
the
lenses
covered
with
snow
and
not
be
able
to
make
out
what
light
is
on
sure.
Well,
that's
also
a
good
time
to
come
to
a
stop
and
then
take
turns
going
through
the
intersection
and.
C
A
A
C
C
B
C
C
So
the
first
message
you'll
get
is
the
weight
message
when
you
press
the
button,
if
you
hold
the
button
for
an
extended
amount
of
time
I'll,
let
you
hold
that
Brian
wait.
You
are
crossing
dr,
dr
as
it
tells
you
where
you're
crossing
that's
right.
It
tells
you
what
intersection
you're
crossing
and
then
once
the
walk,
light
comes
on,
it'll,
bring
up
the
message
and
tell
you
the
walk.
Light
is
on
to
cross
whatever
street
you're
crossing
and
then
you'll
hear
an
audible
countdown.
A
A
C
Years,
four
years
we
used
what
we
called
inductive
loops.
Those
were
the
diamonds
that
were
cut
in
the
pavement.
Those
would
sense
a
car
over
it
just
by
a
change
of
inductance,
and
that
would
put
a
call
in
saying,
hey
I'm
here,
you
know,
turn
the
Lightning
for
me.
What
we
started
using
now
is
radar
detectors,
you'll
notice
that
oval
shaped
up
there
on
the
master.
That
is
a
radar
sensor
and
we
program
those.
C
C
To
this
there
wasn't
it
necessarily
issues:
they
were
really
reliable.
The
problem
is
anytime.
You
pour
a
new
street
new
concrete.
We
hate
to
go
in
and
cut
it
up,
because
it
just
creates
some
great
points
for
the
new
concrete.
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
we
went
to
this
new
radar
detection
and
also
the
radar
detection
does
a
lot
better
job,
sensing,
bicycles
and
motorcycles.
So
it's
probably.
A
A
Well,
hopefully,
you
now
have
an
idea
of
how
new
lights
and
signals
are
helping
improve
safety
throughout
the
community.
If
you
have
questions
about
traffic
signals
feel
free
to
call
the
public
works
department
at
515
to
395
160.
That's
all
for
today's
show
well
be
sure
to
tune
in
to
the
next
where's
Brian,
because
you'll
never
know
where
I'll
go
next.
