I thought of this one earlier today: https://www.google.com/maps/preview?hl= ... 3555&fid=5. It is on a one way road and IMO should really have 2 cantilevers. Or... at least the mast on the left should have a crossbuck on it.

There also used to be a road off to the left of the above image that had just lights only on some rather old masts. When the road was eventually closed the lights were removed but the masts and crossbucks remain: https://www.google.com/maps/preview?hl= ... 3555&fid=5. The one closest to the camera in the above image has now been vandalized... someone has pulled the wires out of where the lights used to be and they are now hanging down quite a bit, flopping around in the wind. :Mad:

Those are known as "Buckeye" crossbucks, and they're exclusive to the state of Ohio. They're red in color and have that Yield sign below the crossbuck. Nothing unusual about those within the state of Ohio.

I kinda figured as much. I thought I read somewhere that the 2009 issue of the MUTCD outlawed them.

You mean to say this isn't a signal here? :LOL3:

Also, further down that line is a crossing on the site: http://rxrsignals.net/Texas/A-F/Dallas/ ... xpressway/
