Australian 6-aspect Traffic Light

A typical Australian (Victoria) 2-column, 6-light ATS halogen traffic signal. This one has been set up to simulate four typical sequences. Two of the ambers are too short, but can fix that later.

@BLANKNOTING We don't have "Doghouse" signals in Australia. Ours look the same as this, but without the red arrow.

I work at Vic Roads and these are not Victorian Traffic lights. These are ones you find in South Australia.

Victoria ones do not have the cross mark on the lights and they have a long clinder shade fixed to them with a half grill for traffic lights of this age.

@ConnexTrains Thanks 4 comment. Well, yes, you're sort of correct. :) I made this display up from parts I had available. Which is why the target board has an obvious join down the middle.

The + marked circle aspects are an ex NSW signal, but the arrows are Victorian. The visors are a mix of 'plastic' ones from a LED signal and aluminium ones, probably ex NSW too.

What I meant in saying "Victoria" was more to do with the sequencing of the lights, although much the same interstate I imagine.

@emdB67 I have three of the longer 'half grille' visors, but it looked a bit silly with 3 long ones and 3 short ones, so I changed them over to all short ones.

The + marked signals are occasionally seen in Victoria, but generally only on temporary portable ones at roadworks.

Where can I get a signal like this one from?

[emdB67]

I actually made this one from two separate signals, but there are many hundreds of this kind in Australia.

I bought the signals on eBay. The actual 6-lamp versions aren't often seen for sale.

New Zealand signals also have the "crosshairs." I rather like them.

I maybe buy one

The halogen lights with the "crosshairs" started appearing in Brisbane during the 1990s, I think. It seemed only a few years went by, then suddenly LED-arrays were everywhere instead.

Almost like a doghouse light, but with 6 lights. So, it's a Hershey Bar light XD

Beautiful Trafficlight!!! I wish I can have also a AU Trafficlight.

The Light Changing remember me to GDR VEB Trafficlights.
