Not lane control, but one of my favorite nearby signs, as you travel northbound onto the Golden Gate Bridge:

I was wondering, does anyone have examples where neon tubing was used for lane control signals?  While in the past lane control signals were either incandescent or fiber optic and nowadays use LEDs, I would like to know of various examples where neon tubing was used.

The toll plazas in Puerto Rico did in fact use neon tubing for their lane control signals from 1996 to sometime around 2012/2013 when they were replaced by LED lane control signals.

IIRC, the lane control signals installed at the portals of the original (1959) Dewey Square Tunnel in Boston were neon tube.
