Do you remember those pedestrian signals? Made by Parco of Moorabbin, these were used in the Melbourne CBD. The shape of the top is quite distinctive.

I do like the Ped signal!!

What does the tag say on the Eagle signal to the right??
Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

Something about being a BLISS era signal. I have some of those style lenses.
