Places you will never see a Traffic Signal

Both Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard are two places in MA that have no signals whatsoever. In fact some webpages for Nantucket suggest drivers be polite and yield to each other when at intersections.

There also in Florida' s Sanibel Island the same, where that city would rather implement a traffic officer over installing a traffic signal.

Then Windermere, FL installed roundabouts to avoid installing traffic signals.

To me I don't think we will ever see a Traffic Signal ever in our lifespans for the aforementioned.  How many other places currently without a signal can you hypothenize won't ever get to a point to eventually install a signal.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I'm pretty confident there are no traffic signals on Catalina Island.

I'm pretty sure Anticosti Island has no traffic signals, considering how little road traffic there is.

Probably similar with Block Island, RI. No stoplights and many different means of transport competing for the same road space can be a bit hectic at times.

An answer should be Interstate Highways, but I-70 Breezewood, I-78 approaching the Holland Tunnel, and I-180 WY remind us of the imperfect Interstate System we have

I'm pretty sure San Juan Island lacks signals, and perhaps even the whole county.

In Washington State:

San Juan County- seat is Friday Harbor (county has no state routes and consists entirely of islands.)

San Juan County in Washington State also does not have any full-color traffic lights. However, I seem to recall that there is a blinking red light at the ferry loading dock in Friday Harbor, but this is simply to remind folks not to drive into the water when a ferry is not at the dock.

Does San Juan County, WA have any?

There is a signal, but it's always red. It's made from the blood of trespassers.

Yes, but what about San Juan County, WA?

Safe bet on the following towns in NY:
Allen
Baldwin
Birdsall
Boylston
Brandon
Cameron
Clare
Day
Decatur
Denning
East Otto
Edinburg
Greig
Hardenburgh
Hermon
Montague
Lincoln
Lyndon
Osceola
Otto
Providence
Rathbone
Redfield
Russell
Smithfield
Stony Creek
Thurston
Watson
Westford
Worth

None of these towns contain a state maintained road, and none have any signals to my knowledge. And if you knew where any of these towns were without looking at a map (unless you live in one of these towns), then you have a pretty impressive knowledge of NY geography.  :D

Jackson County, CO.

The busiest spot, in Walden (at 14/125) is just a stop sign, in a dusty North Park town.
