Hi Jake! Really loved your design, the one thing is is that it would most likely have reflective borders and doghouses instead of towers, also Waltham wouldn't have the before intersection signals! Great design though!!

Yeah, the stop line signals are more of a midwest or western thing. I quite like them, so I try to include them in my designs.

The left turns are flashing yellow arrows, so they are basically the same thing as doghouses in terms of how the behave. I have not yet created a backplate with a reflective border, but it's on my to-do list.

Glad you like it!

I was saying the right turn signals would be doghouses, I personally love FYAs

Oh, I gotcha. I was wondering why you'd want doghouses, since I've seen many FYAs in Massachusetts.

Would doghouses still be used on poles? I've seen doghouses on poles before (in several places, including Mass), but wasn't sure if they were still regularly installed.

My area generally uses 4- or 5-section towers on masts for right turn filters, hence why I used them here. The one hold out is Spokane, who seems to like doghouses on poles.

Even on the bottom section, Massachusetts really hates 5 sections for some reason.
