Title: Personal driveways controlled by lights?
Post by: STLmapboy on September 22, 2020, 08:19:52 PM
For this thread I'm looking for examples of houses with driveways that are signalized--not businesses. They can be on the other side of the intersection from an actual road.
There's one right near my house (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6205597,-90.5340879,3a,75y,351.7h,89.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suRUUHo58tGBNml7UO1pH5w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656/) across from Parkway West High School. 14650 Clayton Rd gets a spindly, short mast arm and two R-Y-G signals (one overhead, one side mount). They don't get any from of protected left turn (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6205485,-90.5338848,3a,68.1y,253.63h,86.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sD_4IpdHvgbzh0WjSUxtSPQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656/), of course.
I was also perusing GSV and found this (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3158218,-79.6935049,3a,66.7y,26.48h,89.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sompuqWAoS5awip0llUymvw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656/) outside Pittsburgh. 8930 Barnes Lake Rd gets one of those cool inverted-T signals that are nowhere to be found in Missouri, but the poor guy can't even turn right on red. No protected left here either, obviously.
Any others?

That's actually pretty interesting. As for my little town of Indiana, I only know about a few driveways that are controlled by stop signs.
As for a different area, near Charlestown, IN, a small driveway intersects SR 62 with some warehouses.

You're right. I'll just bump that thread with the examples and ask the mods to lock/delete this one.
