I'm pretty sure that there might be a worded one somewhere in Washington D.C, someone posted one on Facebook that should be in the same area as the other two Washington 3M crosswalk signals but I was unable to find it.

Interesting! Looks like they retrofitted the LEDs into them as well

These are actually near an apartment my dad stayed at for a while when he got temporarily transferred to DC, so I probably saw these in person when I was younger! I'll have to see about stopping by them on my way up to New Jersey if I can get up there this summer. Also, there used to be a doghouse signal at this intersection in the past, which are rare in DC: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9367364 ... authuser=0

Interesting, I never knew that doghouses were rare in DC.
By the way, it appears that gray is the standard signal color in DC, and not black.
This is where the doghouse posted by David was. It was replaced by a standard Durasig head, which is not painted black at all but looked fairly new based on how reflective it was: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9367579 ... authuser=0

Battleship gray used to be DC's standard color for signals, seems they're swapping to black now though...
I honestly thought that DC's signals were colored as such just due to age and faded paint.
By the way, I have always remembered DC's pedestrian signals having the walk indication flash, even before they got countdown signals. That was one thing that stuck out to me when I was there in 2001 compared to pedestrian signals down here.

Ah yes, the good-old "dancing man" indication. They did that as a trial run for the MUTCD (it didn't get adopted), and it was done to remind pedestrians to be on the look-out for any turning cars.
Also, some foreign countries will have the walk indication flash for the clearance phase, rather than the don't walk indication.
