They still make double guys for concrete poles here in Southern California. In Long Beach around the airport there's a replacement double guy that replaced a knockdown and there's a new double guy traffic light in Monrovia, CA.
Which intersection in Long Beach had the replacement double guy, and which intersection in Monrovia has the new double guy?
I do know that when the lamp poles and signal poles on Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood were replaced, the city of L.A. used double guy attachments for the traffic signals.
The one in Long Beach is on Lakewood Blvd just south of Spring St. Its a light pole, no signal arm. It has a newer GE M400A3 street light, the others have M400A2s. Don't remember the street in Monrovia.
I also remember back in the '80's, the signal poles at that intersection (as well as the intersections with Wardlow and Willow) used a skinny signal pole with a curved mast arm single-point attachment for both the signal lamp and the traffic signal. It is similar to the present day setup, except that the left turn signal was not overhead, but on a median-mounted post.
If I remember correctly, Lakewood Boulevard south of Del Amo Boulevard was turned over to local control sometime in the previous decade. (Before that, CalTrans controlled it as Highway 19) It was after that that the city of Long Beach decided to replace the median mounted left turn signals with overhead left turn signals.
I also remember a knockdown at Broadway and Redondo in Long beach, and it was replaced with a concrete signal pole with a double guy attachment for the overhead lamp and the traffic signal. (I frequently drove through the area.)

siren also looks like a Big Tuba
The newer signal arms here are just a tapered e style mast instead.
