Recent worded pedestrian signal sightings?

[Pink Jazz]

I would like to know, where have you most recently seen a worded pedestrian signal?  They are becoming increasingly rare as the MUTCD requires symbolic signals.

The most recent place I have seen one (which has now been replaced) was at Higley and Williams Field Road in Gilbert, Arizona.  The signal was on an old yellow traffic post that was formerly owned by MCDOT (installed well before the Town of Gilbert annexed the area).  The Town of Gilbert has since replaced the traffic post including the pedestrian signal as part of a road widening project.  I haven't seen any others ever since.

This one is not too far from where I live.  These were erected during the mid-to-late 90s.

Various towns scattered in New Jersey still have incandescent "DONT WALK" and "WALK" pedestrian signals. They are commonly found in the northern part of the state.

Here in the Tennessee Valley, the cities of Tuscubmia, AL, Decatur, AL, Athens, AL, and Florence, AL all have worded peds still in use (as far as I know). Decatur has one intersection with worded peds that are still in use, All of the peds in Tuscumbia are worded, all of the peds on the courthouse square in Athens are worded, and most of the peds in Florence still have the worded lenses.
Both Sheffield, AL and Fort Payne, AL have worded peds as well, but theirs are abandoned.

Rochester, NY still has a few scattered around the city.

Outside my office in Trenton there's still worded signs.

What year did NYC convert to symbol signals? I wonder if there is ''one'' left there.

NYC began the switch in 2000, which was 15 years ago.  However, unlike most cities, NYCDOT generally does not use countdown timers except if a traffic study determines a need.  There was a bill last year that would have mandated NYCDOT to use countdown timers for all new installations, however, I don't know what became of it.

I saw a few near the Mall when I was in DC last month.

Buffalo has a few scattered around, but they typically don't install pedestrian signals outside of downtown or one of the 3 major shopping districts.

Like Pink Jazz mentioned, NYCDOT first began the citywide conversion in 2000. By 2004, mostly all of New York City's pedestrian signals were successfully retrofitted. Even so, a handful that were merely "forgotten" lingered for some time.

From what I recall, the last handful of worded pedestrian signals in New York City were discovered by the D.O.T. sometime after 2007. They were at an intersection in the Bronx near Yankees stadium, and, interestingly enough, if you view the intersection on Google Map (under street view), you could see the unaltered setup in 2007. At the time, the intersection was in flash mode, so the pedestrian signals were unlit. Though the dead giveaway here is that all of them had their original louvers, which current units in New York City lack.

You have to move the "man" around on Google Map to see the pedestrian signals.

Also, the traffic signals there were still fully incandescent.

As far as I know, countdown units are still not mandatory at newly-constructed signalized intersections in New York City. Each borough has its own preferences as far as the setup is concerned, so the supplier listens to what is needed.

SDOT has a few still.

Here's one where the 3 other posts have the newer signals, but this one has the original one.

We live not too far from each other  . Didn't they replace those signals like a year ago though? I could have sworn they're now symbols with a countdown clock on them.

I'm lucky enough to have ones immediately up and down my street--ones in this style that date back about 15 years...

...some of which around are already gone and replaced with LED lighted symbols, but not all in town, and even better, some in the small square style that are much older...

...which were re-mounted on another pole when the pole that they used to be on was toppled in a storm in 2010.  I was afraid that they might be replaced, but fortunately frugality or sentimentality got the better of someone and they put the old signals back up.  (The pole tipped, but the signals stayed on and were not damaged--that probably saved them from being replaced.)

Akron and surroundings was a great haven for worded signals (even a few circular WALK-WAIT ones) until about 10 years ago when they went wild starting to replace.  There had been a great variety--Wink-O-Matics with orange bulbs, square ones in 8 and 12 inch sizes, you name it--now it's modern blah.  Worded ones are rare now.  I was amazed that the one in the first pic above had a bulb (incandescent) replaced last fall instead of them replacing the whole fixture!
