Doesn't appear operational in the 2008 pictures. My only guess as to why there would be (what appears to be a siren) attached to it... maybe it was for a fire station nearby? That's totally a guess though as there doesn't appear to be one near that intersection now.
I think it was installed because there had been a fire station near there. I've actually seen it in person, and your guess as to why it's there is as good as mine.

At first I thought that sirens on the bridge would operate when the bridge operates.

This looks kind of sketchy.

I remember stop signs that had a type of visor on it with those slats that would allow it to only be seen from one direction. You saw them out in rural areas more than in the city. Haven't seen one of those for a long time either.

I see louvers on traffic lights all the time around here. It's how Huntsville prefers to do programmable visibility.
Also, I like the old button-copy signage near there:

Louvers are common down here too, especially at intersections that have more or less than a 90-degree angle, or more than one cross street.

"Louvers"... I couldn't think of that darned word earlier!
Here's an example of what I was talking about.
