Traffic Signal Downlight Relamped
To my surprise today, the downlight used to light the traffic signal ahead sign got relamped with two 69w clear incandescent signal lamps. It had been burnt out for at least 5 years so I thought they just gave up on maintaining it. It was relamped today too as I did not notice the downlight being on when I passed by last night. 

Downlights like these are getting pretty rare now as modern installations typically only use a reflective sign instead. The downlight along with the aluminum Fortran beacons was installed when this overpass was built in 1999. They're also the last remaining aluminum signal heads in my city too.
