LOL what the heck? The one-way sign is pretty huge too lol. This must be the longest arm in all of Ontario. I guess the 125 is supposed to light a freeway down below but if that's the case it won't light much being like 60ft above the surface of the expressway lol.
haha due to the ground grade and arm length, and standard pole height, the pedestrian signal has the illusion of being mounted incredibly low. Even with its long arm, they still had to aim the signal head into the crosswalk because the arm still isn't quite long enough. Oh I just noticed the signal is aimed this way due to the arm being rotated away from the right turn lane! It is mounted offside because the wiring doesn't run onto the bridge this intersection is on. I work just down the road from here, Hurontario St. & 401!
Hmm I would have mounted it post top style with the pole right next to the guardrail and run the wires through conduit against the guardrail. Here they would have factored the ped signal into the bridge design or dug into the bridge deck to put the foundation in lol.
Yeah, that's probably the longest arm in Ontario. Anyway personally I would use those pipe brackets and a short pole to mount the signal instead of that contraption. As for the 125, it lights a yet to be opened ramp.

We also have some truss poles like this, though they're only in that spot. They're BVU truss poles, not NECO/NGrid poles. Note that the poles are taller or shorted depending on how high the wall is, to maintain a common pole height. This ones' really short. They've since replaced the M-250R2s with M-400 FCOs and wired the poles in with the relays that the new tall davits run off of. They kept the poles though, which was nice. Sort of strange seeing a sea of tall davits and then these old-standard truss poles on once side of the freeway for a short while. Here's one that was already retrofitted at the time of the streetview. And here is a lonely L-150 on a disused section of freeway. They have yet to redevelop that section. The L-150 doesn't light at night. It's a 250W HPS.
