Places that have extremely old signals

Not incredibly old, but these rare Checker signal heads were still in place in Wilder, KY until earlier this year:

I dream of a day when span wire signals are extinct

So does NYSDOT.

That could be a two color red green signal that was converted to a beacon. Two color signals were common in NY a very long time ago. They were gone in most of the state by 1970 I believe. I saw one in the 90s in Orleans county (in Olcott) that was abandoned. (It has since been removed.)

Of course NYC were the last holdouts and still had a few in use in Far Rockaways, Queens as recently as 2010. Those are all gone now.

Did any survive long enough to be captured on GSV? I searched the 2007 imagery but didn't find anything.

Span wire signals are being used less and less here in CT. Mast arms seem to be preferred over four-lane surface streets. Wire spans are used for 5+ lane ones.

Hartford is replacing some old span wire signals on Main St., but the ones at State House Square are remaining.

Reading the description, the video may predate 2008 by months, if not years:

A shot of the last remaining red-green traffic lights out in Rockaway, Queens, New York City.  Note that instead of yellow, the red and green are displayed simultaneously.  These lights were discovered to be gone a few months later.  RIP.  The ones in Queens in the neighborhood of Ozone Park along Liberty Avenue are probably gone too.
