One Steel from PEPCO and a bunch of Alunimums from BGE
Well it is clear, one pole with a forked mount steel arm starts here and enters the neighborhood on the left, although a few intersections down the road to the left has a few "battles" which each intersection had a "2 electrical companies meets" in each intersection! So you would be driving under a row of single guy arms while you see trusses on each intersection to your left while driving on the road on the left of the pic

Nice scene pic....i also like how it says "Hump" our signs say "Bump" Smile

Now that's a strange boundary! How about shared wooden poles between SCE and city municipal utilities? They do exist around city limits!

I like that truss bracket on the left it would look good in my yard. Laughing

Neat pic, I like seeing the differences between utility companies in your area.
The road signs are interesting too, I see that there are some differences between the ones in the pic and Canadian road signs.

Form109, we also have Bump signs too

Silverliner14B, Now that is cool...I am NOT sure if there's really any shared...I will try to find out...but I doubt it

MV123: that truss arm is 20 foot the one you are refering to, the rest except for one other is 10 foots, although that 20 foot one on the left is a newer style we have from different company...if you look at the pole behind the School crossing sign, you'll see a older 15 foot same brand as the 10 foots...for the 20 foot version same as the 10 foots you see looks like this

For a good reference of comparation of 20 foots trusses we have around my area see right here which shows our newer trusses and one older one...I saw the older ones slowly ceased being installed brand new around early 2000s but sometimes they get reused for different places if one was removed in good condition...

Joe: I will try to get more pics and stuff.....and Joe, theres not THAT much differences...its VERY similar...also I have noticed sometimes signs or arrangements are different in each states....for example..in traffic light intersections for "left turn only" or "right turn only" (which looks like an curved arrow followed by a word "Only" they are mounted on the traffic light brackets for EACH lane (usually if its 1 way or 2 way only...) but in Illinois, there wasn't any on the mast...only on the right side of the road BEFORE the stop line.....but you can't see that sign while sitting in front on the red light while in MD you are staring at them next to the traffic lights LOL
