I noticed that on modt european signals and australian signals, the power cord doesnt come out of the top or bottom , but on the back out of a hole. Why is this? And were is it used? :blink:

I haven't collected any signals other than american models.
Great observation, I'm curious to the reasoning behind this as well :scratch:

No idea.

Here in the UK, cabling is ran through a piece of flexible conduit from the head to a hole in the column that's drilled through the top bracket.

I can try and find some closer pictures if you like?

Ok, that would be great. I see it a lot on pics of Australian traffic lights.

Is this a European / Australian standard for Arrow's :scratch:

Masked Green's and arrows applied to Red's and Yellow's

Here in the US, Arrows are always the indication color (like the green in the pic).

The Australian standard for arrows is to use coloured arrows on black backgrounds, which is the same here (although red arrows are strictly prohibited, and amber arrows are only allowed with approval from the UK DfT on a site-by-site basis).

The general EU concept is like the signal pictured above (Black-on-colour for R/Y and Colour-on-black for G), although there are exceptions to this, such as Netherlands.

Here's a standard installation of Column, Brackets and Cable conduit between the signal head and column.

Yeah like that. Why is that?

SPeaking of European signals... Can anyone identify the brand of these signals in the Netherlands?
