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

[Lytton]

I've been curious and interested in these types of traffic lights. You know, ones like these:





Also, I don't know what these traffic lights are called. Can anyone provide the name of these traffic lights? I'm quite confused.

I know that there are some in Arizona (Tempe, Goodyear) and Colorado (Centennial and Greenwood Village). But, are there any others in the United States of America, and possibly some other countries?

I recall seeing similar ones in upper Manhattan (125th and/or 181st Streets).  Also, the Holland Tunnel approach.

Downtown Long Beach has them.

20th Street N in downtown Birmingham, AL have some that are similar, but have horizontal traffic signals instead. http://goo.gl/maps/OtDRt

There are some assemblies in both downtown Tampa and downtown Pensacola.

The cities of Tempe and Goodyear have referred to them as modular traffic signals.

I've seen these types of traffic lights in downtown Reno on Virginia Street from the Truckee River north to Circus Circus...

Was just going to make this comment. Every signal on Virginia Street in downtown Reno proper (1st St to 6th St) and one set of illuminated street name signs at the unsignalized 7th St intersection are of this style. I'm not a fan of this design

You'll only find this style in that particular stretch of Virginia St...the rest of downtown, as signals are upgraded or newly installed, has a nicer ornate style to match the new street lights Reno has been using in ped-friendly districts.


Incidentally, the 5-section PPLT signals visible in Myosh's SV link have been replaced with 3-section PPLT FYA displays with bi-modal green/FYA arrows.

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.

Looks like there the signal can be operated manually from a booth on the NE Corner.  I remember that during the morning rush, the signals were set to flash mode, and the PANYNJ had their officers direct traffic instead.  This was to prevent grid lock, so I imagine that with this, he does not have to stand out in the middle of the intersection anymore during those times.

[kphoger]

are there any others in the United States of America, and possibly some other countries?

I'd say the answer is a huge, definite YES.

Also, I don't know what these traffic lights are called. Can anyone provide the name of these traffic lights?

It doesn't look like anyone has provided an answer to this question.  Do they have a special name?

[Pete from Boston]

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."

Orange County, FL calls these type of mast arms beautiful as they "want to improve the image of the Trail" as for years with all the roach motels, hookers, go go bars, and the infamous Parliment House it has gotten a bad rap.

Madison, WI has a few around the American Family Insurance HQ on the northeast side of town:

Just a couple blocks away, they're prepped, but signals have not been installed: https://www.google.com/maps?ll=43.152151,-89.286956&spn=0.000004,0.00327&cbp=12,350.09,,0,6.5&layer=c&panoid=TJncegIQz9z7I1X2Rkn3yQ&cbll=43.152052,-89.286846&dg=opt&t=m&z=19

I thought I remembered a few in downtown Wauwatosa, WI, but it looks like they have been replaced with regular pole-mounted signals.

[Lytton]

Discovered there was a few in West Palm Beach, Florida. However, they're only in Downtown area.

Also, some in Ciudad Juarez, the city that forms part of El Paso's metropolitan area.

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).
