Re: Google Street View
Was in the Miami area over the Thanksgiving holiday. Saw these traffic lights that appear to have 3M green sections in them on each side. Kind of odd to have just one of the lights like this, plus the visors are round instead of the normal square-ish.

Also saw several signals along this road that still have incandescent yellow and green sections, but LED red's. Very odd to find that this day and age, especially on heavy traveled roads.

Thanks. Didn't realize there were other brands of this type of light.ZachL wrote:Those are McCain PV beacons, not 3M.cabman701 wrote:Was in the Miami area over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Re: Google Street View
McCain is also the only company that still makes PV signals. Intelight was another brand, but they stopped a few years ago.cabman701 wrote:Thanks.

Re: Google Street View
Interestingly, there are three pairs of Intelight beacons here at one signal in Tampa. These aren't found anywhere else in the area.freebrickproductions wrote:McCain is also the only company that still makes PV signals.

Re: Google Street View
Those are actually strobe tubes mounted on a more common signal housing. If they were true Intelights or Optisofts, you'd see a heat sink on the back of the housing.ZachL wrote:Interestingly, there are three pairs of Intelight beacons here at one signal in Tampa.

Re: Google Street View
Blurred building on GSV, i believe this was the site of a nightclub fire in the 1940's.

Well... if they are going to go through the trouble of blurring it on Streetview... they should blur the satellite view as well.NathanFromEngland wrote:Blurred building on GSV, i believe this was the site of a nightclub fire in the 1940's.

Re: Google Street View
Why did Google blur the Home Alone house?
