Historic stoplight capital of the world ?

[US71]

Pensacola News Journal suggests Greenwood, Mississippi is the Historic stoplight capital of the world.

They DO have quite a few and I've managed to photograph at least half of these, but I probably need to go back and see if they've added any more. Canton, Mississippi also has a few. Greenwood also has/had the last colored shields for US49E and US82.

I wonder if there are any other towns retrofitting their existing vintage assemblies or refurbishing and adding new ones. Does anyone know?


It would certainly seem like a good addition to historic downtowns across the country, I'd really like to see more of this. Especially with all the downtown revitalizations you've been seeing across the country.

There are a couple in Denison, Texas, but have been relegated to 4-way flashers. Miami, OK still has a few, or did the last time I was there.

Kokomo, IN before they built the US 31 bypass.
US 41 north of Chicago.

Flint, Michigan has some traffic lights that look like they haven't been touched since the 1950's. Some of the old ones have been replaced though.

There is a city in northern Jersey that has a 4-way signal at every other intersection, I might vacation there one day and bring my camera

Re: Kokomo - I believe you mean the SECOND US 31 Bypass (freeway). The first was the route that ended up with so many stoplights (now Indiana SR 931).

That sounds like Washington St. in Hoboken, although I believe they are now finally replacing them.

I would say Madison has a lot of really old stoplights.
