Speaking of Queens here is one of them.  And both roadways have them and on the same pole as the regular street blades.

On another subject, I am saddened that Queens does not use the white on blue blades anymore, as that almost gave each borough its own unique kind of color as Staten Island and Manhattan were duplicated with black on yellow, and Brooklyn with blue on white.  I cannot remember what the Bronx had though.  But everything must change now.  I used to like the Lady Liberty logo on the Midtown Signs between 34th Street and 59th Street as they added something to the blades, which still may be there.  I will head over there on GSV next.

Yep, Northern Boulevard and 108 Street are both OSNS corridors.

The white on blue signs were before my time.

I remember reading some years ago on the net where the Bronx's street blades were white on navy (in honor of a certain baseball team playing just off the Deegan).

Correct.  Brooklyn's signs were white on black.
