Looks like one of the signals may've been struck and they had to source a replacement.Ethan the Railfanner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 10:49 pmOld and new(?) 4-way traffic light clusters in Scottdale, GA:

I'm leaning on this having been sitting in storage than new. Incandescent bulbs and if you look at the visors, they are not shiny and reflective.Ethan the Railfanner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 10:49 pmOld and new(?) 4-way traffic light clusters in Scottdale, GA:

Re: Google Street View
I know around two to three years ago i saw some street light heads that were replaced with SOX heads yet they had been discontinued being placed on columns a few years ago. I'll throw some links out later.ZachL wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 7:43 amI'm leaning on this having been sitting in storage than new.

Re: Google Street View
Is this supposed to be ALDOT compliant or something? I know since the LED upgrade a red arrow was added.

Re: Google Street View
The light was simply a red ball before a red arrow was added, i'm sure stuff like that is common in Michigan isn't it?freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:43 amNot sure what you're curious about, looks to be pretty standard.NathanFromEngland wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:41 amIs this supposed to be ALDOT compliant or something?

Re: Google Street View
Remains of old Highway ramps on the I-95 in Saco.
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.521292, ... 312!8i6656
These used to lead to the hotel on the other side of the Highway, but when the highway was widened, the owners (the hotel was privately owned until last year iirc) didn't want to pay for the new bridge.
Just north of that is the old southbound exit 36 ramp (took traffic from I-95 South to I-195 East.) This ramp was replaced, probably due to truck rollovers.
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5270544 ... 312!8i6656
On the I-290 in mass, we see another old ramp. This was also replaced due to truck rollovers, but the new ramp is even worse!
https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3633593 ... 312!8i6656
Old sign with the cat-eyes. These are still kinda common in Mass and CT, but they are due to be replaced

Re: Google Street View
Red balls for left turn signals were common across the country (at least here in the SE, anyways), as the MUTCD had allowed it for many years. It was only a recent-ish MUTCD change that made it so that red arrows were the standard red indication for left turn signals (right turns can still use arrows or balls).NathanFromEngland wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 5:05 amThe light was simply a red ball before a red arrow was added, i'm sure stuff like that is common in Michigan isn't it?freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:43 amNot sure what you're curious about, looks to be pretty standard.NathanFromEngland wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:41 amIs this supposed to be ALDOT compliant or something?

There's a fair amount of button-copy like that left up in the NE. I know New Jersey had tons still when I visited back in 2017.Steven429 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 12:35 pmOld sign with the cat-eyes. These are still kinda common in Mass and CT, but they are due to be replaced

Re: Google Street View
That and keeping in mind several states do not follow the federal MUTCD as well. But in those instances, you will always see a sign indicating that it's a left turn signal.freebrickproductions wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 2:40 pmRed balls for left turn signals were common across the country (at least here in the SE, anyways), as the MUTCD had allowed it for many years.
