OTM Book 12 "Standard/Highway" Signals

<< < (7/8) > >>

7/8:
I found another 20/20/20 signal, this time in Pembroke, ON at McKay St and Nelson St.

Unfortunately I didn't get a photo, but here's the location in Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/J2JdufxrXBm

I found yet another 20/20/20 signal, this time in Ottawa at Vanier Pkwy and Donald St. It also doesn't have a backplate. Here's a photo I took today:



I saw a similar one at Wellington St and Metcalfe St, though I don't have a photo.

To change the subject to something more interesting, I find it interesting how Ottawa uses straight green arrows when right turns are channelized. Just one of many examples is heading EB on McArthur St at Vanier Pkwy. But what I find particularly interesting is how the three signals heads are 30/20/30. The OTM Book 12 doesn't show this on the list of signals, but it seems very common place in Ottawa. Instead, the OTM shows Types 1, 2, and 3 with the yellow lights being 30 instead of 20cm.

Now that's an oddity. Even here in the Northeast, it's becoming less and less common to see signals without backplates in rural/suburban areas. I didn't think Canada had any without backplates.

I'm surprised I managed to find 2 in half-a-day in Ottawa. I'll be here for another 2 full days, so I'll have to be on the look out for more!

Look at Huron Church Road in Windsor... signals without back plates are not exactly a rarity.
