I wonder who's responsible for towing this.

I don't think those are 3Ms.

They look like them, becuase the lights fade.

GSV glitch.

The red and yellow sections are standard McCain sections, but the green sections are McCain PV sections.

A McCain PV is pretty much a reverse-engineered 3M with a few McCain parts slapped on. For example, the doors are standard McCain 12 inch doors while the backs where the PAR/LED bulb goes are standard 8 inch McCain sections. They are also the only Programmable Visibility signal still being manufactured today.
They/Them for me, please.

Here is an interesting piece of MOW equipment in Sarnia, Ontario.

Kind of a cool little signal. I found this after doing a bit of searching in the area that ZachL found those WCH E-Bells.

Kind off odd looking stop signs in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

The stop signs were later replaced by yield signs because the intersection was turned into a roundabout.

Streetview doesn't have any front views of the yield signs that replaced the stop signs. The views of the yield signs that I posted were on the road that didn't have stop signs.
