Trolley guy wire vs. visor. (https://goo.gl/maps/mrkzjNUbuDtrUQhM6)  Visor loses.

Centralia, Washington. Lost the amber visor first, then the green visor. Red still hanging on!

I recall a lot of visor-less signals in New Orleans.

There's a bunch of these in west Norman at the moment because of the hailstorm we got a couple weeks ago.

These poor 3Ms have been missing visors basically forever (https://goo.gl/maps/33CRYMwfXTTLpp9u5) but manage to stay in service, thank goodness. 

Almost forgot to include this beauty--if you flip from 2018 to 2019 imagery, you can see it change from a RYG for flashing green for one street to RYR for flashing red for the side street, but they never bothered to add any visors (https://goo.gl/maps/6B2XJLwNz9FP2DA87)!  A very Peabody thing to do.

I recall one with the red light's visor falling (so not missing yet) on one of the bus routes I often rode on, but I don't recall exactly where it was, as it's been over a year since I've took the bus for fun.

Found this today: Bothell, Washington. (https://goo.gl/maps/1SA7jPRbSDD42ikN6)  It's on one of those round plastic louvered lights, the kind not made by 3M, because 3M doesn't make those kind of lights any more anyway.

Ah, I found out the non-3M programmable lights are by McCain (https://www.mccain-inc.com/products/signals/traffic-signals/programmable-traffic-signal).

I live in St. Louis, so I could link half of the lights in the city.

Found this one in Alford, FL.  The newer head has no visors on it.
