Upside down doghouse signal

Postby Kyleman100 on Wed Nov 06, 2013 12:02 am

Just came across to this pictured and noticed the signal in it. Look like an upside down doghouse signal. Anyone know what's up with that? It's from Sacramento, CA.

Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

I believe I found the intersection.

If you zoom in, it looks like the left side is RA & YA, the right side is R & Y, and the bottom is GA. I can only wonder how this would cycle...

I'm going to bet that maybe part of the signal is for light rail transit. ;)

Or the other possibility is the signal prohibits traffic from turning across the LRT tracks when a trolley comes :grin:

It does the same thing Arrow wise.

Bi-modal arrow on the bottom section and a yellow only arrow top section....... :Phil:

If you move backwards a step on the street view, you can see the bottom light is in fact a regular green ball. But the two left lights are definitely yellow & red arrows...
