Classic yellow-less traffic lights in New York

A shot of the last remaining red-green traffic lights out in Rockaway, Queens, New York City. Note that instead of yellow, the red and green are displayed simultaneously. These lights were discovered to be gone a few months later. RIP. The ones in Queens in the neighborhood of Ozone Park along Liberty Avenue are probably gone too.

@KazzRacer if I remember correctly, the NY Transit Museum in brooklyn has a two section light in the mezzanie with all the other bus and street stuff.

@ukk... Where in Jamaica are the lights?

I remember the days of my childhood when these types of traffic lights were also located along Continental Ave near Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills. Growing up in Michigan, I had never seen anything like them and thought they were interesting. They disappeared sometime in the early 80s if memory serves correctly. It always seemed to me as a visitor to NYC that things always changed in the Rockaways only after they had changed every place else that I knew in the city.

MUTCD is NOT federal law. :-)

3 seconds between red and green are required by Federal Law, MUTCD.

I think all of these have been all replaced. I dont think there is none of these left.

These are neat, I hope they donated them to a museum or something.

The few signals of that type that remain are mostly in the Rockaway Beach section of Queens. There are also a couple in Jamaica.
