January 23, 2018:  Post a picture of any signal head (mounted vertically), where the bottom section is an indication with a color other than green.

Not sure this challenge would net anything other than pictures of flashing yellow arrows.

There's the famous Tipperary Hill light, but that seems too cliché.

Oregon seems to have quite a few of these. Here's a two-fer on an interchange sequence sign on I-5 South just before Exit 303:

I did not respond since I wasn't sure my photo would work, but Liberty, Missouri has 3 section signals with Red and alternating yellow and green arrows (2 sets of LED's).  So you have red, green straight arrow, green Left arrow , with straight and Right in the other signal. Yellow sequence, all arrows turn yellow.

Illinois likes to put the route number on street blades when the junction has a traffic signal.  Here are a couple examples of that.

January 26, 2018:  Route marker assemblies have various tabs with a 2:1 aspect ratio, usually 24" x 12" or 36" x 18".  Post route marker assemblies with a blank one of these tabs.

I have to ask: what's the point when using individual signs? I get it with unisigns, but...

January 27, 2018: Route marker arrangements on green signs that could otherwise be normal displays.

Some examples below of what I mean: only route markers, arrows, and optionally, cardinal directions; nothing else. Minnesota has lots of these, often on traffic signal mast arms.
