Found a 4-Section One-Piece 4-Way Signal in Use

I have never seen one of these before:

I grew up with those in Arkansas, mostly along main highways.

Oh hey, I've been there before. Got a video of it a few years ago. AFAIK, it's still there. Still mechanically controlled as well, IIRC.

The signal was almost undoubtedly installed by ALDOT back when that was AL 20, prior to the town being bypassed to the south.

Also, as a side note, I believe Albany, NY, has another one still in use.

Kings Mountain, North Carolina, has a few of those

E Gold St - S Gaston St

s. Waterson St - W Mountain St

W Gold St - S Cansler St

That's a type M 4-way signal from the early-60s. The double red was a thing in the east.

Also in Arkansas until the early-mid 70's, though mostly on state-maintained roads.

Four-high 4-way signals were somewhat common in the Cleveland area for providing a left turn arrow, but all of the examples I can think of have been replaced in the last 10-15 years as part of larger signal replacement projects.

These Crowse-Hinds style signals are still common to comeby in smaller communities in Ohio.

Through the early 1980s, there were a number of these along Allisonville Rd. (an old alignment of S.R. 37) in Indianapolis.   I also remember one along N.C. 127 in the Viewmont section of Hickory, N.C. until the road was widened in the late 1980s.

Temple and Chapel st.s in New Haven, CT taken less than a year ago.
New haven has a ton of 4-ways in the wild which I believe are Marbelites, all retro'd with LED lamps

Bumped into that one a few weeks ago in Leighton.

Oh yeah I've seen this. Check out the intersection of Quail st @ 2nd ave in Albany Ny. I'll upload photos tmr.
