Saw this idea in an old thread and thought it was interesting:
In your state (or province/territory), where are the geographically extreme traffic lights? Other criteria is welcomed, but for now let's say northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, westernmost, most central, and for a challenge, highest (elevation) and lowest.
For Virginia:
Northernmost is definitely US-340 and Harpers Ferry Rd northwest of Purcellville (outskirts of Harpers Ferry WV) at 39.320 degrees: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.3198597,-77.7124795,3a,75y,248.34h,87.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIMLmqv5LSq006-8D15C2dA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Southernmost is tough, but I believe it would be at Business US-29 and Mayfield Rd in Danville (36.548 degrees): https://www.google.com/maps/@36.54748,-79.4614125,3a,75y,11h,89.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEZJeRRrOXlliZSEJcnSrpg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Easternmost is almost certainly this ugly assembly at Maddox Blvd and Chicken City Rd in Chincoteague (-75.362 degrees): https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9315896,-75.3613394,3a,18.4y,316.39h,93.44t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sULMWxHiybYMQduL94hPzGg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Westernmost looks to be US-58 and Chappell Rd in Jonesville (-83.126 degrees): https://www.google.com/maps/@36.6845496,-83.1259668,3a,75y,256.98h,86.05t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sSUCDsflELMIcpUu01_chtQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Virginia's most geographically central traffic light appears to be at US-460 and a shopping center entrance in Appomattox, 10.88 miles south of the Wikipedia and USGS-defined geographic center of Virginia (which itself is about 1.7 miles south of Gladstone): https://www.google.com/maps/@37.364226,-78.8453519,3a,50.3y,274.43h,87.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1son8368h3HbH6nfPQa05XvQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
In terms of elevation, I don't really want to go through the effort of figuring that out, but Norton's lights at around 2200 feet present a good candidate for highest. Any of the lights along the VA Beach shoreline or on Chincoteague would probably be the lowest.
Where are the geographically significant lights for your state?
Ohio
Westernmost: Pretty much any light on the IN border. Here's one at Harrison Ave and State St in Harrison. (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.2620815,-84.8197349,3a,78.2y,248.64h,93.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxKOEAS-B1AkxEF0kpI3VNw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)
Easternmost: US 62 on the PA border. (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.2213909,-80.5183738,3a,75y,28.68h,86t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1seZj0hn2W34rv9-yQiqAB4Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) The OH-PA border curves to the east here too.
EDIT: Apparently the Google Maps marking for the OH-PA border is incorrect here, and it's actually a straight line like the rest of the border. With that, the easternmost signal is pretty much any one on the OH-PA border, with US 62 and Addison Ave just west of the above link as an example.
Southernmost: US 52 and Burlington-Macedonia Rd in Burlington (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4120818,-82.5316187,3a,75y,56.81h,77.41t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slXWfBaK1_HNHViWviS82xg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192).
Northernmost: OH 7 and OH 531 in Conneaut. (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9614916,-80.5536728,3a,75y,97.41h,88.4t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYisey_xmM15AWfQ1B9G4hQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)
Centermost: Geographic center of the state is in Memorial Park in Centerburg. Closest traffic light to that point is at OH 3 and Clayton St (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.3049625,-82.6955232,3a,75y,43.33h,90.13t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMJt3wGWgRsZQPql7e7ZLzA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

Given that Conneaut is father north than parts of Canada, it probably doesn't matter if there are.
Indiana
Northernmost: The entrance to the Indiana Toll Road at Howe (exit 121)...
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7560156,-85.4268065,3a,75y,256.86h,87.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6xRVjnUTsRUyNaqmiNzV-g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Easternmost: any traffic signal that borders with Ohio...
Ex.: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1490416,-84.8205211,3a,75y,71.6h,90.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sLBZMOoho-d9o1hoFxwKLQg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Southernmost and Westernmost: in Mount Vernon on 4th Street (Indiana SR 62) at Parke Street (old Indiana SR 69)
https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9288206,-87.9086258,3a,75y,264.12h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7mN3L-3D6TBSQQIL_F6vZA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Fixed since Mount Vernon is more western than I thought.
Washington State:
Most central: 5th and Western, Wenatchee (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.429803,-120.346239,159m/data=!3m1!1e3) (8.83 miles from the geographic center)

Most southern: Main/B and Washougal River Rd, Camas (https://www.google.com/maps/@45.5785399,-122.3556748,138m/data=!3m1!1e3) (3.22 miles NW of most southerly point of WA, at Reed Island)
Most western: Division and N Forks, Forks (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.9504192,-124.3853868,114m/data=!3m1!1e3) (tied with an emergency signal one block north)
Most eastern (excluding this signal (https://www.google.com/maps/@48.1839308,-117.0393131,132m/data=!3m1!1e3) on the WA/ID border): 2nd / Bridge / Diagonal, Clarkston (https://www.google.com/maps/@46.4198262,-117.0401321,176m/data=!3m1!1e3).
Michigan:
Easternmost - has to be in Port Huron; probably Military/Huron intersection with Quay
Westernmost - Ironwood, probably US-2, but maybe there's something south of the highway in town that's a little farther west.
Northernmost - I believe it would be in Calumet on US-41.
Southernmost - This is the hardest. Somewhere along the Ohio border near Toledo or Sylvania? (Sylvania is a little farther south, but not as built up on the MI side of the border opposite it.)

In terms of elevation, I don't really want to go through the effort of figuring that out, but Norton's lights at around 2200 feet present a good candidate for highest. Any of the lights along the VA Beach shoreline or on Chincoteague would probably be the lowest.
Virginia's highest would be one of these places:
Floyd 2493'
Tazewell 2503'
Rural Retreat 2513'
Hillsville 2516'
The US 301 stoplight at the NC line is slightly further south at 36.546 degrees

if it weren't for the fact that you seem to know your stuff, i'd almost challenge you on the 'north' one... there's traffic lights in craig and steamboat...
but, i don't have the speed to check this, so again i defer to your generally well-researched stuff

Thanks for the compliment! Wellington is farther north than almost any town in Colorado and there's nothing in Julesburg, Sedgwick, or Walden (the other ones I checked out).

That intersection is entirely in Pennsylvania. Google Maps' state line data is inaccurate when you compare against USGS topos. The state line bisects the US 62/Addison Avenue intersection, although it is a PA-maintained signal. Mercer County, PA shows the plots for the buildings are on their tax rolls.

Southernmost: in Mount Vernon along 4th Street (Indiana SR 62)
The light at 4th and Main in Mount Vernon is both the southernmost and westernmost.
Illinois's Southernmost has to be the Traffic Light at the north end of Cairo, at US 51/IL 3/IL 37
Northernmost and Easternmost will probably be ties, as the Northern border and much of the Eastern border is a straight line with Wisconsin and Indiana.
Since Great Lakes Roads submitted a list of images for the Indiana Westernmost with signals on the border in the Chicagoland region, I'll quote and list those for IL's Easternmost (FYI these are not Indiana's Westernmost, due to the Southwestern trajectory of the Wabash River, which extends the Southwestern tip of Indiana to the west)
Easternmost: Substitute the opening line with "Easternmost: any traffic light on the border of Indiana within the Chicagoland region..."

I'll go out on a limb and say the Westernmost is in Quincy, at the Mississippi River Bridge approach: WB US 24/Broadway St@3rd St/IL 57 and EB US 24/Maine St@3rd St/IL 57
NEVADA
Northernmost: Winnemucca Blvd (I-80 BL) & Bridge St, Winnemucca (https://goo.gl/maps/jahguc3q3ivnDmQj6)*
Southernmost: Casino Dr & Needles Hwy, Laughlin (https://goo.gl/maps/2qh8wpZApqcS6iz89)**
Easternmost: Sandhill Blvd & I-15 North ramps, Mesquite (https://goo.gl/maps/Bm1C7yL43EF5Q1719)
Westernmost: US 50 & entrance to Zephyr Cove Resort, Zephyr Cove (Lake Tahoe) (https://goo.gl/maps/1cmQZ8azCU42CGqY9)
*While the other three are all within 3 miles or less to the nearest state line, the Winnemucca signal is about a 70-mile straight line distance to the northern state line.
**Less than a mile from the nearest state line, which is actually along the eastern boundary of Nevada on the Colorado River. This signal is about an 8.5-mile straight line distance to the southernmost point in Nevada.
I couldn't even fathom a guess as to what would be the state's most central traffic signal, as there's a whole lot of nothing in the middle of Nevada. The three largest populated towns closest to the geographic center or "mass" center of Nevada are Tonopah, Austin and Eureka, and none of the three have a signal. In fact, there's pretty much no signals anywhere inside the triangle formed by I-80, US 93 & US 95. The closest might be something in Fallon or Ely, which are both a long ways away from center.
Not sure that I could pinpoint extreme elevation traffic signals. But my guesses would be that the signal at highest elevation would be one of the ones on US 50 between Zephyr Cove & Stateline near Lake Tahoe, and the lowest being one of the traffic signals along Casino Dr in Laughlin.
I wonder which northernmost/southernmost/easternmost/westernmost traffic light in a state is furthest from that state's northernmost/southernmost/easternmost/westernmost point?

The Cairo, IL signal is pretty far from anything in Chicagoland, as well as any signal along the Wisconsin border/Northernmost
I meant, for example, northernmost traffic light to northernmost point.

How do you guys find out? Do you just go to the extremes of your state and use GSV and look for it?
Pennsylvania:
Northernmost - US 20 at Vine St. in North East (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.2162691,-79.833597,3a,75y,247.92h,93.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1siYvitUXBJj7hc0roOC39iw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

As for centermost, I would guess that it would be in Bellefonte, as it is the closest town to the geographical center of PA.
Illinois's centermost would have to be Downtown Lincoln.
The town of Chestnut is IL's geographic center, right in Rural Central IL. Lincoln is 11 miles away (as the crow flies - no direct roadway). Clinton is 12 miles away - crow flying or driving along IL 54/Old US 54. Pretty sure those are those closest traffic lights to Chestnut
New York

There are no signals on Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard.
Based on the state of Indiana's point, the centermost light is at US 421 and Willow Rd in Boone County.
Based on the USGS point, it's at US 36 and CR 525 E in Hendricks County.
Not sure why their points don't match.

Counting water and not counting water?
North: Warwick Tpk at Lackshore Dr in West Milford. (Tough one to figure out...not many traffic lights as you approach NJ's northern-most point.)
East: 9W at the ramp for the Palisades Parkway, Closter
South: The southern most traffic light is actually a flashing light: South Broadway at Beach Ave. In Cape May
Actual functional traffic light: Beach Ave & Jackson St, Cape May
West: Again, a flashing yellow light at a sharp curve on Broadway in Pennsville near a side street that leads you down to a restaurant by the Delaware River. And what makes it more unusual: The flashing light is only for the main road. There's no flashing red for the side road, as it's a one way road away from Broadway. (Also to note...not the same Broadway that's in Cape May.)
Actual functional traffic light: Broadway and 1st Ave, Pennsville

Yep. Obviously it helps to have a good idea where it might be. For those of us with rural areas near the extremes of our states, it's easier to know which cities might have one.

Obviously Alaska would win for sure for Northern, Southern, and
Western. I would assume Eastern it would take the cake too.
Edit - Looks like western might be beaten by Hawai'i.
I just updated my Colorado entry above with the most central as well as the highest and lowest. I didn't include any "temporary" lights at the Eisenhower tunnel. Just typical, fully-functioning red, yellow, and green signals.

My guess is US 80 at LA 519 in Arcadia. A topographical map I found online says elevation is right around 400 feet. The highest point in LA is not far from here. Unless another town has a random spike between 400 and 500 feet in elevation Arcadia takes it.
Lowest elevation:
Fun fact...a lot of New Orleans is below sea level. I found a few spots on the same topo map and there's way too much of New Orleans to try and find the lowest. So I'll pick one. Alvar at Chickasaw Streets in the 9th Ward. Map says -4 feet.

Can I do DC? I live close to the border and it is probably easy to find the answer.
Per the constitution, DC is a "10 mile square" which means 10 miles by 10 miles. It is actually shaped like a square, but tilted so that the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, and westernmost points are actually the vertices or the square. The square used to extend to both sides of the Potomac, but the part to the west has retroceded back to VA and is now Arlington and Alexandria, but their counties largely are still shaped like the square. The boundaries of the square on the DC side of the river are actually streets, and they generally have decent traffic on them and some traffic signals. The northwestern boundary is called Western Ave, the norhteastern boundary is called Eastern Ave, and the southeastern boundary is called Southern Ave. (The southwestern boundary is the river.)
Northernmost signal is at Blair Circle where 16th, Eastern, Colesville, and North Portal converge on the Silver spring border:

Michigan:
Easternmost - has to be in Port Huron; probably Military/Huron intersection with Quay
Westernmost - Ironwood, probably US-2, but maybe there's something south of the highway in town that's a little farther west.
Northernmost - I believe it would be in Calumet on US-41.
Southernmost - This is the hardest. Somewhere along the Ohio border near Toledo or Sylvania? (Sylvania is a little farther south, but not as built up on the MI side of the border opposite it.)
My guess for southernmost would be in Morenci, MI.

I can attest that the most south
eastern signal was on M-125 (S Dixie Hwy) at Benore Rd, maybe 20 yards or so from the Ohio border, but that one was removed a few years ago. The signal at M-125 and Sterns Rd is probably the most southeastern one now.
My guesses for Missouri.
Southernmost: Caruthersville or Kennett
Easternmost: probably Charleston
Westernmost: Tarkio or Rock Port
Northernmost: Not sure, most likely some town along US 136. (Rock Port? Tarkio? Unionville? Memphis?) Do either Grant City (on US 169) or Eagleville (on US 69/I-35) have a traffic light, by chance?
As for the most central: I read that the state's geographic center is somewhere in Miller County, so the nearest traffic light is probably in Eldon, or somewhere near Lake of the Ozarks.

Saw this idea in an old thread and thought it was interesting:
In your state (or province/territory), where are the geographically extreme traffic lights? Other criteria is welcomed, but for now let's say northernmost, southernmost, easternmost, westernmost, most central, and for a challenge, highest (elevation) and lowest.
I see your challenge and raise you the highest and lowest signals in North Carolina, if one of ArcGIS's data sets on elevation is to be believed, and NCDOT's signal location data is accurate (as one example, a lot of the items listed as "flashers" in their GIS data don't seem to exist, even on old street view, and I'm not sure if something being listed as below sea level is accurate here. If those numbers are off, it could be my error, because I had to merge elevation data + signals myself)

Funny that Google lists this as part of Seven Devils. Most references list this location as near Banner Elk (in the 28604 zip code), but Foscoe is probably closer (also in the 28604 zip code). Technically, the gap here is the northwestern boundary point of Grandfather Mountain, so perhaps the village of Grandfather (yep, again in the 28604 zip code) is more appropriate. Locals tend to refer to this intersection as Tynecastle, but that is not a historical placename. I know this is out of the way, but I tend to use NC-105 as the best route from the Triad to Tri-Cities since most of these roads tend to be straight up-and-down the mountain. [Reference to the ClifVoider app might be appropriate here].

NEVADA
Northernmost: Winnemucca Blvd (I-80 BL) & Bridge St, Winnemucca (https://goo.gl/maps/jahguc3q3ivnDmQj6)*
Southernmost: Casino Dr & Needles Hwy, Laughlin (https://goo.gl/maps/2qh8wpZApqcS6iz89)**
Easternmost: Sandhill Blvd & I-15 North ramps, Mesquite (https://goo.gl/maps/Bm1C7yL43EF5Q1719)
Westernmost: US 50 & entrance to Zephyr Cove Resort, Zephyr Cove (Lake Tahoe) (https://goo.gl/maps/1cmQZ8azCU42CGqY9)
*While the other three are all within 3 miles or less to the nearest state line, the Winnemucca signal is about a 70-mile straight line distance to the northern state line.
**Less than a mile from the nearest state line, which is actually along the eastern boundary of Nevada on the Colorado River. This signal is about an 8.5-mile straight line distance to the southernmost point in Nevada.
I couldn't even fathom a guess as to what would be the state's most central traffic signal, as there's a whole lot of nothing in the middle of Nevada. The three largest populated towns closest to the geographic center or "mass" center of Nevada are Tonopah, Austin and Eureka, and none of the three have a signal. In fact, there's pretty much no signals anywhere inside the triangle formed by I-80, US 93 & US 95. The closest might be something in Fallon or Ely, which are both a long ways away from center.
Not sure that I could pinpoint extreme elevation traffic signals. But my guesses would be that the signal at highest elevation would be one of the ones on US 50 between Zephyr Cove & Stateline near Lake Tahoe, and the lowest being one of the traffic signals along Casino Dr in Laughlin.
I think Nevada's winner for both westernmost and highest elevation is on NV 28 in Incline Village, at its western junction with the Northwood Blvd./Southwood Blvd. loop road.
https://goo.gl/maps/3afm4euGY7xuXmtQ9 (https://goo.gl/maps/3afm4euGY7xuXmtQ9)
Longitude per Google Earth is 119° 57' 42" West, which puts it just west of the US 50/Zephyr Cove Resort signal (119° 56' 49" West). Its elevation is 6423'; none of the ones on US 50 is above 6300'.
I'm not sure whether a pedestrian signal counts. If it does, there's one further west for a crossing of NV 28 in front of the Crystal Bay Casino, just a few yards east of the CA/NV state line.

Longitude per Google Earth is 119° 57' 42" West, which puts it just west of the US 50/Zephyr Cove Resort signal (119° 56' 49" West). Its elevation is 6423'; none of the ones on US 50 is above 6300'.
There are lights in Ely that look like they're higher than that. Using the elevation figures from Google Earth, highest one I can find is the intersection of US 6 and US 50/93 (Great Basin Blvd) south of downtown, which comes in at 6537 feet.

Hmmm, you are quite right. I have driven through Ely a number of times and it somehow escaped me that the old downtown, at the mouth of a canyon as you approach from the west on US 50, sits at about 6420 feet; I would have guessed somewhere in the 5000s.

It's been a little bit since I'd been on SR 28 and didn't remember that signal there. I took a cursory glance on Google Maps satellite view, but didn't see that one.
I've also never been through Ely and wouldn't have guessed that there's elevations that high up around there.

Westernmost signal: Chain Bridge at Clara Barton Pkwy:
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.9304761,-77.1118438,3a,75y,168.03h,100.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sk6B6o1K8bh9hFAAKDhppYg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
Minor nitpick: that's Chain Bridge at Canal Rd NW. It doesn't become Clara Barton Pkwy until you cross over into Montgomery County.
Might as well do Vermont:
Northernmost: I-91 northbound ramps at US 5/VT 105 in Derby.
Southernmost: US 5/Fairground Rd in Brattleboro.
Easternmost: US 5/VT 114/VT 122 in Lyndonville (no signals in Essex County).
Westernmost: North Ave/Plattsburgh Ave in Burlington's North End (there are none in Grand Isle County).
Geographical Center: the geographical center of Vermont is approximately 3 miles east of Roxbury village, near the Roxbury/Northfield line. Closest signal to that location would be at VT 12/Vine St in Northfield, approximately 4 miles north of the geographical center.
WI . . .
North: I-535, US-53, and 2nd Street in Superior
East: WI-42/57 and Neenah Avenue in Sturgeon Bay
South: State Street and Shirland Avenue in Beloit (so close to the border that markings for the turn lanes go into Illinois)
West: US-10 and WI-35 in Prescott
Central (approx.): I-39/US-51 and WI-153 interchange western signal in Mosinee
There are traffic lights on the WI/IL state line at WI 31/IL 131/Green Bay Rd at Russell Rd in Kenosha WI and Lake IL counties. That previously qualified as Illinois northernmost, so that would qualify as Wisconsin's southernmost.

I've been through Ely once, and the weird thing I noticed about it compared to other Nevada towns is it's right up against the Egan Range foothills. Most other Nevada towns in my experience tend to be more in the middle of valleys or along rivers.
Even looking at valley floor elevations, those do seem to be a bit higher in the eastern part of Nevada (generally 5000s range) than they are in western Nevada (3000s) or even western Utah (4000s).
Québec:
Northernmost: probably this one on QC-167 (https://www.google.ca/maps/@49.9136192,-74.3660671,3a,75y,296.97h,77.44t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sg35bjbtZ7uKTerUZFoTh9Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en) in Chibougamau.
Southernmost: excluding the lights at the customs stations, this one on A-55 (https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.0084129,-72.0873114,3a,75y,249.53h,94.62t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1smwtsWBXKF44jWcI1MkyDZw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DmwtsWBXKF44jWcI1MkyDZw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D214.74095%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en) just north of the border might qualfy.
Easternmost: Unless there's an intersection with traffic lights east of Natashquan or in Blanc-Sablon, the intersection between QC-199 and Chemin Petitpas (https://www.google.ca/maps/@47.3774151,-61.8660824,264m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en) (no Street View, surprisingly enough) would be the easternmost traffic light.
Westernmost: possibly this one on QC-111 (https://www.google.ca/maps/@48.7951518,-79.2009006,3a,75y,140.01h,86.95t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTSWWwiLk_wqxo4yZDLL9jA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en) in La Sarre.

Yes, but I think we're also looking for the southernmost WisDOT-maintained signal, hence the one in Beloit.

The Mount Airy signal is the second most northern then, according to the data set. (https://prnt.sc/13m074r) And the northernmost one fully within the state. Close enough then.

Figured I'd do Massachusetts since no one else has yet. Feel free to correct me if any of these are wrong.

I believe the lowest elevation traffic light for California would be at Highway 111 and 4th Street in Mecca at 185 feet below sea level.
The highest would be Lake Mary Rd and Canyon Blvd in Mammoth Lakes at an elevation of 7,900 feet.
