Las Cruses has the largest still inuse ecanolite bullseye lights in the state of New Mexico. Ruidoso i know has a three, lordberg has one at the old westboud weight station. Aztec, NM has one left near the trus bridge. And roswell has three left. Unfortunately Gallup replaced all theirs two years ago.
They do! Just like Florida, and New Mexico. There is an actual reason for it, it helps with the wind. Apparently, those long mast arms can get very stressed when they are vertical signals and City Engineers thought that if they have the signals horizontal, it would help the stress on the pole!
I know right! I've never seen anything like this, ever! I think there's one more intersection in San Diego similar to this, but I didn't have the time to record it... 😢
@@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354 Thanks. It can be annoying when Caltrans has the audacity to update intersections that aren't needing the updates when there are Hundreds more that NEED updates.
The pipes you saw sticking out of the traffic lights are just a different kind of mounting device used to mount a traffic light from behind. Those appear to be leftover from a recent conversion from using those to the brackets you see in the signals now. I don't know why they didn't take a few minutes to remove them from the signals.
Yes it does. It is quite the odd intersection, So the 5 section left that you see is for both left turn lanes. And thanks to how light the traffic is here, there is more room for people turning left onto the freeway
What do you mean by: "opposite direction has green light while the signal is green with the middle lane is a left turn or straight?" Are you meaning by: Exit ramp direction and the other exit traffic side?
Yeah! A classic Texas diamond phase! We have a couple of these in Nova Scotia too. I’ve updated the pedestrian phasing so you don’t have to wait for the opposite direction to receive a green though.
@@the_god_of_traffic_lights absolutely! The program we have for it is wild. I have a couple videos on my channel of one that I updated last year. It has those through and left turn signals and protected only right turn signals for overlaps and pedestrian protection.
You will typically see a flashing red light when there are other traffic lights nearby, such as this intersection. It is to tell drivers that there are no traffic signals they can look at but to use the flashing red light as a stop sign and only turn right.
It was very rare to see the flashing yellow arrow lights in the city of San Diego and it was literally the only one here, but as of 2023, a few more have appeared in other places. Also, when the traffic lights were installed here in the early 2010s, the left turn signal was not yet fully programmed because since it was installed, it has only been the flashing yellow arrow. Not once did it work like a normal left turn signal, even with cars waiting to turn left.
These traffic lights were placed here in the early 2010s mainly so that people could cross the street because the traffic is very congested since the beach is right behind this intersection. The previous lights that were here were just two flashing yellow lights to tell people that this was a pedestrian crossing, but it was very dangerous due to the endless heavy traffic that passes through here.
@@the_god_of_traffic_lights Because the left turn signal was not yet fully programmed - it has only been the flashing yellow arrow. The green light didn't light up, even with cars waiting to turn left, and I explained that already.
@@the_god_of_traffic_lights Well the round traffic lights are McCain and the squared ones are 3M and guess what, they don’t make the 3M traffic lights anymore
This means yield to oncoming traffic! I haven’t seen one of these either, but there are different types of flashing yellow. And 3 section refers to how many lights are on the signal!
This is Albuquerque. With the way we drive here, if that light wasn’t specifically a u-turn light, someone would have already made a left turn straight into those barriers.
