Any traffic lights like these in other parts of the USA?

[Lytton]

Not sure if they are still there, but there used to be some similar assemblies in Downtown Detroit, near Grand Circus Park (either Fort Street &/or Michigan Avenue).

To be fair, I don't know either. But however, I think I remember that they used to be there back in 2009, but it seems like that in 2011, City of Detroit has replaced them with the regular but rare mast arm lights.

[TEG24601]

These are very similar to the standard light setup in Honolulu, as well as several Airports I've been adjacent to in the US.

As for Detroit, most of the light have been replaced with standard mast arms, aside from one at the end of I-375 (the last time I was there).  At least they are moving away from the single wire setup in downtown Detroit.

Honolulu? Um. Last time I've been there, I don't remember the setup of traffic lights being like that. They were just regular mast arms, and most of them were side-mounted (is that the right term).

Anyway, I might be wrong. Can you provide me an example of this setup in Honolulu?

When I was growing up there, nearly all the lights downtown where like that.  It appears that most have been replaced, but I have seen them when watching Hawaii 5-0, and other movies and shows that take place in Hawaii.  I remember specifically the intersections near Wo Fat's Chinese Restaurant and the one next to the Spaghetti Factory being of that design.

I recall seeing similar ones in upper Manhattan (125th and/or 181st Streets).

Aside from Manhattan, other locations in New York City use this particular set-up, such as one segment of Jamaica Avenue in Queens.
Below, is an example of one from there. At Jamaica Avenue and Sutphin Blvd.

Some of these are in use on Staten Island, too; however, pedestrian signals are encased within them. One could find a set-up in service on Port Richmond Avenue. Below, is an example.

Grand Rapids also used to have these (1988 photo below). I remember them as a kid, but can't recall when they disappeared.

When I see that traffic light style, I invariably think of the similar (but slightly different) assemblies along Market Street in San Francisco.  (I wonder if they got installed after the early-1970s BART excavation project was finished)

I really like these traffic signal set-ups, I think they are more decorative than the standard mast arms. There are a couple in Columbia, SC (Main Street between Blanding and Laurel Streets, not sure if there are more.) Personally, I'd like to see more of them!

Yes, those sign assemblies were part of the general renovation of Market Street when the BART/Muni tunnel was put in.

[lordsutch]

They used to have some of these on-property at Memphis International Airport for access to the on-airport employee parking and cargo terminal areas, but they were bulldozed years ago with the reconfiguration of the roadways for the new tower and the eventual parking garage expansion/rental car complex.

There are some in Dallas, Tx:

https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=32.821818,-96.785724&spn=0.000013,0.00626&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=32.821818,-96.785724&panoid=9t2KU49A7dCb-ukWZy3yew&cbp=12,347.4,,0,0

I remember seeing these when I was there last September.  I see in the second link, they are being replaced by standard mast arm assemblies, so I guess the City of Dallas is not happy with them.

Truth be told, when Dallas, TX was mentioned; I thought of this example in the downtown area or even this example.

[doogie1303]

Providence had something similar on Empire Street:

This setup was quite old and I don't think it's there anymore.

Blue Ash, Ohio.  Replaced in 2011:

(more in the album)

There's many of these in Fort Lauderdale's Arts and Science District, but they're horizontally-mounted signals.

[Roadrunner75]

Looks like you have a similar type in downtown Wilkes-Barre, PA:

I know I'm necroing a thread, but I figured I would add this for posterity's sake since I was looking up modular traffic lights earlier today.  Forgive me.

Binghamton used to have a bunch of modular lights downtown, also as a result of urban renewal.  This was the last set of them standing (from 2012): https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0986885,-75.9124873,3a,52.9y,0.86h,94.3t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skZxu-CcnaDCS9-y_mk1z0A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 (it was replaced by an antique mast arm by 2015).

As much as I hate other things about urban renewal, I have to admit that these modular lights looked really cool.  Sad to see them gone.

[Amtrakprod]

Many southern beach towns use this, for reasons I do not know
Edit: Wow, I found one in Massachusetts!!! https://www.google.com/maps/@42.1948906,-71.2004118,3a,75y,77.32h,92.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZoZ2nXl5Fn6W9NKD3Wo72Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Downtown Reno has a bunch along Virginia Street and some nearby streets. I've never been a fan of them. I think the more "antique"  style used at the I-80/Virginia signals or some other areas around the downtown core are more classy (and also match the more typical street lighting used in revitalized corridors around town).

[UCFKnights]

Florida Atlantic University uses them as well throughout their main campus

Stuttgart, AR old US 79 (ped signals no longer work)

There is also one in downtown Little Rock, but I can't find my photos off-hand.  If memory serves correct, they are horizontal.

[TheArkansasRoadgeek]

Could any of these be compared to the old signals in Little Rock on W. Capitol?

I associate these light structures with 1970s commercial-district urban renewal programs.  They almost go hand-in-hand with streets closed to create pedestrian shopping districts.  They seem to say "Look, no more unwieldy, gangly mess of traffic light poles reminding us of unmanageable development chaos -- now it's neat and sleek, just like the future."

Once upon a time in the early 1980's, downtown Pittsburgh was to get these.  That is why they have the posts on Liberty Ave with the octagonal stop sign looking reinforcing mounts high up.
