The Canadian man is neat. Here in the United States, that (L.E.D. version) is in use as well. I recall I saw a couple in service somewhere in the northern part of New Jersey about four years ago or so. I'm sure what I saw are still in service.

I am a railfan, signalfan, and I'm interested in tornado sirens. I hope to learn new things about traffic lights because I'm interested in them and don't know much about them.

I think I might have topped that. The temporary box span at McIntire & 250, the one where those type Ms used to be, has what I think is a triple set of 4-section left signals (with green dots & bimodal arrows). I know it is at least a double set, but I'm not sure if the 3rd signal has a left or a right bimodal arrow.

I highly doubt it, but I took a second look at this picture and have to ask... are the two 2-section parts of this DeMco doghouse solid bodies??? Even zooming in as far as I can on the original photo, I can't make out any division between them. They also only have 1 set of drain holes.

Yeah, that's a bus. :)

(Unless you're in central Florida, in which case it's a watermellon truck!)

Okay, here's another confusing one

Spoiler:
I guess it means trucks can't go straight, but it looks like they just cancel each other out :crazy:
