Title: Unique Traffic Light Mounts
Post by: UCFKnights on September 02, 2025, 12:30:39 AM
I didn't see any existing thread for this, so feel free to point me in the right direction if it exists, but I'd like to see all the unique ways of mounting traffic signals. Post your unique mast arms that you have seen! (No standard round or square arms, and no span wires, they aren't unique)

For example, Orlando on OBT uses a truss design, sometimes as a full square:

Guy-wire masts are/were more common in some parts of the country than they were down here in the southeast, from what I can tell. California is one such example.
