Create your own video on http://studio.stupeflix.com/?w=1 ! Traffic
lights can have several additional lights for filter turns or bus
lanes. This one in Warrington, also shows the distinctive red + amber
combination seen in the UK. German crosswalk signal showing a female
pictogram. Pedestrian crossing light with loudspeaker for the blind. A
traffic signal in Halifax, Nova Scotia with specially-shaped lights to
assist people with colour blindness. A typical example of how traffic
lights are mounted in California. It is not uncommon in Ontario for
traffic lights to be mounted on telephone poles, as seen in this photo.
This elaborate traffic light gantry is in Pleasanton, California. In
the 1920s, after continued destruction of a standard traffic light in
its Tipperary Hill Irish neighborhood, the City of Syracuse in the
United States gave up and installed a traffic light with green on the
top. Residents of Irish descent had objected to the fact that "British"
red was placed above "Irish" green. A Marshalite traffic signal. These
were formerly fitted in various intersections in Melbourne and
indicated how much time was remaining before the signal changed. This
traffic signal in Mountain View, California shows red and green at the
same time. This traffic light in Khobar, Saudi Arabia is video
camera-actuated (just above the vertical light) and also shows the
seconds remaining to change to the next state (in the horizontal
light). Traffic light in Munich, showing a special bus signal. An
attempt to discourage red light running by posting the minimum fine on
a regulatory sign near the signal. Another method is to simply remind
drivers what red means through advertising campaigns.
