Think that might have been a wrong URL there.

Either way, how would a traffic signal control box be wrong?

Because the box is made by Siemens and the signals are not Siemens!
Well, point made, Now they are Siemens Helios LED.

Some other examples.

This is a Microsense setup, not a Siemens setup.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.47077 ... 6656?hl=en
This is a 2nd generation Microsense setup, not a Siemens setup.
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.46869 ... 6656?hl=en
This control box was recently replaced with a black Siemens control box, this is not Siemens, its 1980's Plessy setup!

I found another pair, this time at an intersection with normal GYR signals. I wonder if the main signals also change when the blackout signals are active? Although they are in flash mode.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but these signals appear to show the image of a fire truck when active. Neat find! I would be interested to see these operating myself...

Happens all the time over here. Huntsville used Safetran controllers for the traffic lights here for a while, despite not using any Safetran traffic lights.
They/Them for me, please.

Odd place for a stop sign.

I wonder what these push buttons are for?

Looks like this is an old signal bridge in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

Wonder if they are planning on putting in warning beacons for the cross walk? We have them all over down here. https://www.google.com/maps/@27.846245, ... 6656?hl=en

Classic 3-way signal beacon in Clay Center, Ohio.

https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5635281 ... 6656?hl=en

It looks like this side is burnt out. I couldn't manage to get a view of this side lit.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5631942 ... 6656?hl=en

It wasn't burnt out back in 2007.
