Now that's cool! :cool: I, too, had a Lego city when I was younger and used to make traffic signals for it, but never would have thought of making something like that.

Given the limited number of small enough pieces, I think that's the closest anyone can ask for.

I made a pair of Lego 3Ms myself. I need to post pictures of them.
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 can't figure out why all 4 are at slightly different angles...

Roanoke, part 1: 3M/ICC combo signals at Hershberger Rd & Ordway Dr (links to page on my site).

These signals are for 2 intersections that are right next to each other. One is large, and the other is very small (and frankly unnecessary). The signals at the far sides of both intersections are McCain-style ICC with 3M green sections. 3 of them are 3-sections, and one is a doghouse. They are all heavily masked.

Roanoke, part 2: 3M pedestrian signals at Jefferson St & Salem Ave (links to page on my site).

At this crosswalk, there are two sections that cycle separately; one for crossing the main st, and one for crossing the side streets's slip lane.
The first one below is completely in the wrong place; it's supposed to be at the second crossing, not the first; what's the point of even having it??
The second one, on the far side from the slip lane, is theoretically in the right place. It is the signal for the second crosswalk (when coming from that side)... the only problem is, there is no signal for the first one... The slip lane crosswalk only has a ped signal facing the island; there is no signal facing the curb.
BUT, none of it matters in the end, because you can't see them no matter what! One of them has the DONT WALK burnt out, and the other has both sections burnt out.
