A while back, I came across quite a find from Google Map while at home, in which was a picture of what appeared as a single-faced Ruleta. The picture was taken last year, and I definitely had to visit Central Park in Manhattan to see if this was still in service. Yesterday, I decided to visit Central Park, and, to my surprise, this gem was there. Because I was amazed that such a signal was still in existence in New York City, I took quite a lot of pictures of this traffic signal. Below, are all of the pictures that I took of it (at almost every angle). Enjoy the goodness.

I thought I would've never seen a Ruleta with a L.E.D. module insert. This is an interesting find without no doubt. Also, I did not see the green signal indication illuminated, since it seems that the signal controller's dial timer likely stopped rotating. The signals are stuck in an interval.

Go ahead and shoot me but I like the pole and box it's on better than the signal itself.

Mike, this is on East Drive in Central Park. It is located right near the intersection of W. 110th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., which is actually connected to both East and West Drive. On the other side of Central Park. Uptown.

What a remarkable find. I wonder how long it will survive since the latches are gone and the green section is slightly ajar and the controller appears to be stuck. STILL... :drool:

Nice find there! It's always great to see these old beauties still in service, even if they are falling apart. :drool:
