Talk about other non-signal stuff here. Make sure to obey the rules though.

Poplar St in Pine Bluff,AR has a flashing red light on the mast on the stop signs at the intersection on 27th.But I noticed on the north side of the intersection,that red light is steady,the other one is flashing.They both have a single red light.

A bit strange, but cool.

I think they fixed the one that wasn't flashing.

That's good. Staying on like that is wrong in my opinion. A steady light like that simulates a red traffic light, to where you can't go until the red light goes off. A flashing red means stop, and fits better with a stop sign than a steady red.

After 3 months, now is the time to explain why I wanted these beacon lights.

I was using them as models for an HO Scale project I was working on.

After trying a bunch of ways to do so, we finally have a product worth showing.

Note that these will be very close to the finished product. These aren't cleaned up and painted yet, but the idea is there.
