Is it because it's on a median or is it because it has 2 masts? Well if that correct answer...its only strange to YOU but its common in my area LOL!

Also i noticed most of the traffic lights in your area are 12 - 8 - 8 but not this one

Maybe because one traffic light each direction!

Median mounted signals are somewhat common here...usually where a road meets a Divided Highway or Street...more often than none they have two masts.

Median mounted signals are pretty common here but I haven't seen the light for the cross street mounted on the median before.

Yep its the dual mast arms, I have never seen it done before, in fact the way this intersection is setup there are 5 signals facing one direction!
joe_347V   [Mar 30, 2011 at 08:50 PM]
Odd, you have a streetview of the intersection?
gailgrove   [Mar 30, 2011 at 08:54 PM]
Here it is, in Kitchener.

Thanks, I remember the nearby mall used to have some tall six light poles and cobras.

Kind of remember that some had OV 50s but not really sure...

Stange, the most I've seen in one direction is three here. We use dual masts, but we never install streetlights on the traffic light poles.

We always have street lights in the intersection mounted on here, they are powered by the traffic signal controller.
joe_347V   [Apr 05, 2011 at 11:32 PM]
My area usually mounts streetlights on the sides of the road on sometimes on a separate pole but I've also seen median mounted streetlights here too.

Wow, I read this comment and saw the new set-up of the GoL and I'm diggin' it. Smile

Update: I went by this light today and the Durasig signal facing the camera has since been replaced by a Fortran with black doors and visors.

Cool! where is this anyways
joe_347V   [Aug 19, 2013 at 03:38 AM]
Oh it's in Kitchener, near the Hwy 8/Fairway area. I think there's a Streetview link somewhere in the comments though.

Interesting how they replaced it with black doors and visors.
