Just up the street a bit from this location... a signal for a parking lot exit. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7297638 ... 6656?hl=en

Another one here: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7288754 ... 6656?hl=en

3 more here at these exits for a parking garage: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7238013 ... 6656?hl=en

I find it a bit odd that cars are allowed to travel on the right of way in this area: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7098088 ... 6656?hl=en

Yea, that's something Houston's started doing lately. It lights up when the traffic lights turn red. Pretty neat idea, IMO.

It would appear it was replaced at some point with a more traditional signal. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.983623, ... !1e3?hl=en. Appears the crossing is paved over though in the satellite view. Can't tell if the older signal on the other side is still there or not.

Yea, it is honestly hard to tell. Tommy's said he's gonna be heading down to that area next month, so he'll try and see if the GRS signal is still there.

I want to say that one was posted at least once before. An old 8 inch crossing is just up the street.
