Yeah, I've seen a lot of these tall 50 ft twin head poles(and usually with a OVX too) mounted on the median in Peel Region before. The remind me a bit of the traditional MTO freeway lights LOL.
Over here in York Region, I rarely see poles taller than around 35-40 feet and not a lot of those twin head ones too. Most of our 4 lane roads are lit by 200-250w HPS cobras on both sides but some roads use 400 watters.
Here they could of gotten away with 35 foot poles 6 foot arms and 200 watt HPS cobras (still mounted on the median) but since these replaced 50 foot shoe boxes (with cobra refractors) that I have a picture of and since they where 400 watt HPS they just put up 400 watt cobras
Well I dont know that would provide quite enough light, besides that would be shorter then the lights they put in on residential streets now (there 32.5 feet)
I've seen worse.....there's a road near me that has 150 watt HPS on almost every wooden poles...and it's only a 2 lane road, and in some areas theres 2 cobraheads facing at each other like 5 feet part or so....
This isn't bad. The poles are way too high though. They should have used 25-30 foot poles. This is what I would call "well lit". i like roads very well lit at night.
They do, the concrete poles are older (from the late 90's, early 00's) They replaced some of these on direct burial square steel poles that where either knocked over or unsafely rusted. Then they did a complete replacement of the old shoeboxes and poles except for the concrete poles with the aluminum poles a few years ago.
I'm not quite sure that's the exact same type of pole, the one I linked to gets wider just before it goes into the ground, the one you linked to doesn't change. It would surprise me though if they purposely buried the bases for a better appearance.
