Yellow Eagle signals still in operation at pedestrian crossing outside Cheltenham Secondary College on Bernard Street.
Note the single red light on the left for traffic exiting parking lot.



Signal for tram points. Note that this one is branded AWA, although it is very similar in design to Aldridge.



Super cluster, upgraded to LED signals. Originally had 14, but now has thirteen!



Pedestrian crossing with 300mm Eagles & 200mm Durasigs outside Westall Primary School which seems to have survived the LED conversion to date. The black paint has worn off the target boards of several signal heads at this crossing. The Australian Durasigs, nearly exactly the same as earlier Aldridge/ATS signals can be easily identified by the lack of four round bumps on the rear at the bottom of housing.





Yellow all-over Eagle signals, Dorcas St/Montague St intersection.



That's all for now!

What does the lines on the signal mean. I know there for trolleys and have a red T on top, but what do the lines means

Directional indicators to indicate the setting of the points.

apparently it's:
_ is STOP

| is GO

\ is take left track

/ is take right track

That's correctish

As far as I know, anything other than horizontal refers to a track to be taken, and a horizontal line signals that the points are moving (and thus stop). AIUI, you still need to watch standard RYW 'T' signals for actual Stop/Proceed commands.

I always enjoy your signal pix! It's neat to see tie rodded Eagles halfway around the world!

He's uploaded more!

I like the ped signal Mr Bloxsome restored.

Ok, I want one of those Eagles and that cool ped

I like the RxR crossing light also

Pedestrian Crossing outside a small row of shops on Chadstone Road. Originally Eagle signals, they were replaced by newer AWA signals around the time an overhead mast was installed.
A pair of 1970's Eagle pedestrian signals still exist at this location, with the square pictogram lenses rather than the round ones that are found in newer signals.








300mm Eagle Signal on Crank Arm, on left turn lane from Dandenong Road to Belgrave Road. This signal likely dates from the duplication of Dandenong Road between Caulfield and Chadstone which was completed in 1971 (replacing a two lane concrete road in a reservation for the current highway)

The main intersection signals were replaced in the 2000's to accommodate bus priority signals as part of the Smart Bus project.





The older Eagle signal for car traffic on the left was the original; a project to provide bike lanes on Belgrave and Murrumbeena Roads saw separate bicycle signals added at this location. They operate independently of the main signal phase, turning red early to allow for the passage of left turning traffic from this direction and right turning traffic from the opposite direction.
Butting two 3-aspect signals together is not common practice in Victoria, but can occasionally be seen in Adelaide at an older installation in lieu of a 6-aspect signal with fully protected right turn.



The 5-aspect signal for car traffic was the original; a project to provide bike lanes on Belgrave and Murrumbeena Roads saw separate bicycle signals added at this location. They operate independently of the main signal phase, turning red early to allow for the passage of left turning traffic from this direction and right turning traffic from the opposite direction.
