Just came across to this pictured and noticed the signal in it. Look like an upside down doghouse signal. Anyone know what's up with that? It's from Sacramento, CA.

I believe I found the intersection.

If you zoom in, it looks like the left side is RA & YA, the right side is R & Y, and the bottom is GA. I can only wonder how this would cycle...

I'm going to bet that maybe part of the signal is for light rail transit. ;)

Or the other possibility is the signal prohibits traffic from turning across the LRT tracks when a trolley comes :grin:

If you move backwards a step on the street view, you can see the bottom light is in fact a regular green ball. But the two left lights are definitely yellow & red arrows...
