A bronze (brown) painted traffic light setup in Columbia MD... This setup was installed roughly 1995-1996...Note that this has old standards of traffic lights which are yellow visors instead of black visors like our newer ones...note the black replacement visors on the far right? The drop lens GE you see is a newer replacement...and currently CYCLES and DAYBURNS at the same time! Been doing that for a long time and now it doesn't really turn orange anymore...it cycles before sodium can vaporize properly! Keywords: Traffic_Lights

the Brown setups in Texas look similar...except the Truss arms are much shorter and with a sharper angle...also ours have Horizontal Heads.

Those truss arms here, are pretty short...most of our truss arms are MUCH longer! I am honestly not sure why those were short...the 2 truss arms just a block from this intersection are exactly same age but on a smaller narrower intersection but have longer trusses with GE M-400A2 FCOs and they aer also brown....

The setups in Ontario are really different, most of the poles here only have one arm and signal, so we usually put up lots of poles at a intersection (usually 2-3 per direction). We also use 8-20' tapered Es for the lighting arms instead of truss arms.

The ignitor on the cycling one might almost be dead by now.

Brown Setup's look good like this when New...but they always Fade and look kinda ugly once they get dull.
