Yup, but the people in the Bay Area commonly refer to I-880 as "highway 880", SR 85 as "highway 85", SR 17 as "highway 17", etc or sometimes just the numbers. Here in Southern California they go by the route numbers like this: "the 101", "the 405", etc. You will see each region has different dialogues.
Wait, we are getting the
SAME EXACT fixtures in Riviere-du-Loup! I'm gonna see these everywhere in near future. They already installed a few in public places. Are these GE?
Vince, No they are not GEs....the new GE LEDs are actually more cobrahead looking than the above! GE actually tried to make it look more cobrahead...but it has heat vents all over it.....the only LED fixture that I know that has the true cobrahead design is the Cooper OVH LED....
Double guys are a more complex design, having to use two guy wires in addition to the arm. In California the double guy was replaced by a long curved tapered arm that does not require guy wires. However here in Southern California double guy arms are still made for traffic signal mastarms on concrete poles, but new installations are rare.
I also haven't seen any LEDs lighting a street here but Toronto installed a few test fixtures a while back.
Some older poles here still have double guy arms but the newer poles here all use tapered e arms. I believe they stopped installing them on metal and concrete poles first while they continued on wood poles for a while after.
Still trying to figure out the make of the fixtures Caltrans is using but I am having no luck. They are for sure not these (as mentioned they are narrower) and slightly rounded at the corners. Does somebody know?
