I don't know why they would go through the extra trouble for that. The only way I could think of it making sense would be if the other side of the intersection was on higher ground. I know of some hangers for ped signals here in Brampton. They are put in spots that will actually have a purpose. I have to go to Waterloo one of these days.

I've seen Toronto mount the ped signals higher up if scaffolding blocks one mounted at the normal height but it wasn't the case there so I really don't know.

I actually went by the other intersection that had it yesterday. Coincidence? http://goo.gl/maps/WuSkq

Interesting, I find it odd a older style arm was used. The intersection seems new enough to have never used CGE equipment though.

It used to have a hanger ped signal before adding the timers I think it used to be CGE if there was one there before. Off topic here, I was going down Dixie today. Starting from Eastgate parkway all the way to Dundas Is now being completely transferred to LED they are taking down the Coopers OVX's, AE 125's and R7's and all LED's! All with new up sweep arms. The new Concrete poles going in there are going to be put up soon. (The LED's on the Powerline poles were dayburning ). The 8-8-8's there are going to come down soon along with all the CGE signals there.

Hmm, I guess they changed out almost everything at that intersection then.

I guess you could say that they are upgrading everything from Eastgate to Dundas.

You should try and see if you could save some lights if you catch the crews. One of the 8-8-8s would be a nice save too, even though they're LED they represent a type of traffic light that's almost extinct in the GTA.

The bad part is. I don't go down there often

If I happen to see it I will ask the crew for it. I like the one that is at that plaza entrance in the middle the most.

Sounds cool! I believe the 8-8-8 at the South-East corner of Dixie/Winding Trail is the oldest but any 8-8-8 would be a nice save.
