For you signal fanatics, my friend Chris at G.T.E. showed me his company's new website, which was updated in the beginning of this year.
http://www.generaltrafficequip.com/
General Traffic Equipment has been providing signal equipment to various states since its establishment in 1978, and one of its frequent customers to date is the city of New York.
Regarding New York City, G.T.E. recently established a partnership with Peek Corp. and currently supplies New York City with the company's N.Y.C. A.T.C. computerized signal controllers.
Great website! I'm not even that interested in traffic signals themselves, but I actually found it kind of fun to look around.
Also, how very Alanland of them:

I've seen a lot of pedestrian signals in NYC that actually do that - around Little Italy and Chinatown. They show both when it should just show the little man (I don't know what else to call it.)

Those L.E.D. hand and man units are primarily from CooperLED/AtLite Inc. They date back to when N.Y.C.D.O.T. first converted from "DONT WALK" and "WALK" to the hand and man in 2000.
There were two variations that were in production, and it seems the 2nd generation model suffered from this rather common flaw. It likely stems to a faulty neutral wire somewhere in the system.
CooperLED/AtLite Inc. was known to manufacture poor (regarding quality) L.E.D. inserts, and, because of that, many of them did not last for a long period of time. As of present day, CooperLED/AtLite Inc. is no longer in the signal manufacturing business.
