Title: Older people who've been to PA
Post by: traffic light guy on April 02, 2018, 01:45:59 PM
What kind of traffic signals to you guys remember seeing when growing up. When did you see your first doghouses, what about you first interaction with pedestrian signals. Did signals back then have weird sequences. What about in Philly, what signals do you remember seeing?This is strictly for people who were in Pennsylvania decades ago.

As you typed that, I'm currently in my Geology for Engineers class, talking about soil.

Um, well, I can speak for 30 years ago.  They were red, yellow and green.  Um...the police controlled them after games because that's the majority of the time I was in Philly...Um...can't really say much more than that.
