I cometh to bring life to this dead thread. It honestly deserves more attention imo.
To rebirth this thread I'm going to start by bringing this dead conversation to my hometown of Miami, as I often do on this site! ;D
I'd like to share the many variations of Traffic Signals old and new in Miami-Dade County.
Here are some of the still existing Span-Wire Signals here, up until the Mid-Late 90's they used to guard a huge majority of Intersections in the county.
Sadly, with better technology they've become increasingly scarce all around.
I'll start in familiar territory, Hialeah is known locally for having a lot of Span-Wire Signals, so I'll showcase a few for y'all.
W 32nd and Palm Avenue, the Northwest corner of the famous Hialeah Park & Racetrack.

The very major intersection of Red Road and W 29th briefly had a Span-Wire setup while in the upgrading process.

Red Road and W 53rd Terrace had an interesting double-setup up until 2012 or so.

In fact Red Road used to (and to an extent still does) have a lot of Span-Wire Signals. Many can still be found in and around Hialeah, but that's where they've lasted the longest by far. I guess with the few examples I've listed you can see what most Span-Wire setups look like in Miami. I'll definitely post more on Miami Traffic Signals, but I don't want to bombard all of you with too many links and facts for now! :D
To end this on an interesting note, here is the last remaining Span-Wire Signal in Homestead, Fl.
