Man...this setup is Super Ugly....those Horrible Blocky Poles and those god awful Shoeboxe's. Shocked

I cut the feed in a hand box located in the sidewalk about 10' from the pole. I removed the fixture and tried to knock the pole down the rest of the way, but it had too much integrity. A Balto city cop stood by. He was waiting for a pole cat to take the pole down.

Those blocky fixtures and blocky poles in cities are VERY 70s style just letting ya know! The ones installed in Frederick MD were installed in 1976 and has the blocky poles too..but some already had been replaced with fancier poles and posttops....but some of the 1976 ones remains and the traffic lights has blocky frame style too...

well in Texas....Mostly in Larger Cities the Downtown Areas have these Shoebox type Fixtures on Square Poles with Signals on them...and they are mainly New Installations....i just dont Care for this Style....but they do have a Very Simple,Contemporary look to em.

That must be a steel pole and base, we have aluminum poles with cast aluminum bases in the parks and go down pretty easily. They are light enough to pick up by hand, and they can be replaced easily.

Right near the Warwick Mall near me (in RI), an M-250R2 fell down. I ride past it every time I go to the mall and it's killing me not to take the PC and other parts that survived.

I'm glad we only have to put up with shoe boxes in parking lots Rolling Eyes

In MD, we have 2 highways that I know off hand that are lit by shoe boxes....Highway 301 and Highway 270 in Gaitthersburg area...

The nice thing about the style we use is they are fairly easy to service. Once installed they are there to stay. We carry replacement ballast trays for servicing. Usually when they are installed it's because the pole is either a new install or a knock down where the fixture is installed w/ the pole by an outside contractor. Very rarley do we have to install a new fixture!
