Most are run off a master controller that sets up a green wave progression through the 'intersections' in the shop. Others, like the Daytona two-color with protected left turn, are operated from stand-alone mechanical (cam type) controllers. Here is an info sheet on building controllers for folks who don't have the space for a full size signal controller cabinet. Go to kbrhorse.net/signals/controllers01.html
Here in NC (Jacksonville to be specific, havent seen them anywhere else) We have the yellow trap types at newer intersections and more "dangerous" intersections.. whats interesting is that NCDOT either got cheap or lazy, and made both 3 and 4 section yellow trap signals. The 3 section is Red, Solid Yellow Arrow and Flashing Yellow Arrow and Solid Green Arrow. Kinda confusing when they first came out. I'll have to get a video of one of them...
My dad grew up in the tiny town of Snyder, Texas which had several of the the green straight/right arrow signals on curb mounted pedestals. The signals themselves were art deco Crouse-Hinds 8". They were removed in 2004, unfortunately, replaced with modern LED 12" signals on overhead masts.

The red protected left turns are rare where I live.

A steady yellow clearance must be placed between the steady green arrow and the flashing yellow arrow.
