	Loyd Sigmon: Death of a Legend :: LAVoice.org :: LOS ANGELES SPEAKS
		Loyd Sigmon died yesterday at 95, leaving behind a lasting legacy - a word and a concept with as much regional pungency for Los Angeles as "gaper block" is for Philadelphia, or "Big Dig" for Boston.
		Now you may get back on your cellphone again and resume drifting brainlessly into my lane, like the clueless caller at the wheel of the land barge that almost sideswiped me this afternoon on the northbound onramp from the 10 to the 405.
		I think Sigmon's greatest accomplishment was quantifying traffic jams - analogous to the classes they give hurricanes - acknowledging that around here, traffic is much more important than weather, and you do need a weatherman to know which way the gridlock blows.

		To clarify the situation (realizing that Germain just insulted not only Sigmon but his own listeners, who he apparently considers too unintelligent to learn new things), a SigAlert is indeed named after Sigmon.
		In the 1950s, Sigmon developed the technology for a closed-circuit radio station notification system in which stations throughout Southern California could receive traffic reports from the California Highway Patrol all at once.
		Prior to the adaption of the system designed by Sigmon, the CHP would have to call every station individually by telephone; the new system so revolutionized radio traffic reporting that the CHP decided to honor Sigmon by calling any unscheduled traffic tie-up of 30 minutes or more a SigAlert.

		Unfortunately, Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker rejected Sigmon's suggestion; he didn't want his officers diverted from their duties by having to phone a radio station to report every freeway accident.
		Although Sigmon's notification system was a technical success, it proved less of a commercial one.
		Chief Parker insisted that the system was too important to be used for the benefit of a single radio station and required that it be made available to everyone who wanted it.

		Traffic-obsessed Angelenos have learned to curse the ubiquitous SigAlert, which the CHP describes as "any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more, as opposed to a planned event like road construction, which is planned separately."
		Sigmon first came up with the idea in 1955, building a contraption that would allow the LAPD to use a special frequency to alert radio stations of a traffic emergency.
		It had the unintended effect of CAUSING a traffic jam, as the message was sent out requesting any available doctors and nurses to respond to a train derailment outside L.A.'s Union Station.
