Las Cruses has the largest still inuse ecanolite bullseye lights in the state of New Mexico. Ruidoso i know has a three, lordberg has one at the old westboud weight station. Aztec, NM has one left near the trus bridge. And roswell has three left. Unfortunately Gallup replaced all theirs two years ago.

Most likely because the U-turn has right-of-way over the right turn.

There was a time that NDDOT would only use protected phasing for roads over 35 MPH or more than 2 lanes. With FYA, I am guessing that changed.

Texas does use a lot of horizontal traffic lights.

@the_god_of_traffic_lights Ай бұрын

They do! Just like Florida, and New Mexico. There is an actual reason for it, it helps with the wind. Apparently, those long mast arms can get very stressed when they are vertical signals and City Engineers thought that if they have the signals horizontal, it would help the stress on the pole!

The pipes you saw sticking out of the traffic lights are just a different kind of mounting device used to mount a traffic light from behind. Those appear to be leftover from a recent conversion from using those to the brackets you see in the signals now. I don't know why they didn't take a few minutes to remove them from the signals.

One reason could be that the intersection can get a bit busy, that or they (NDDOT) is very lazy at their job.

Yes it does. It is quite the odd intersection, So the 5 section left that you see is for both left turn lanes. And thanks to how light the traffic is here, there is more room for people turning left onto the freeway

You will typically see a flashing red light when there are other traffic lights nearby, such as this intersection. It is to tell drivers that there are no traffic signals they can look at but to use the flashing red light as a stop sign and only turn right.

@Joshua_Park_693 6 ай бұрын

It was very rare to see the flashing yellow arrow lights in the city of San Diego and it was literally the only one here, but as of 2023, a few more have appeared in other places. Also, when the traffic lights were installed here in the early 2010s, the left turn signal was not yet fully programmed because since it was installed, it has only been the flashing yellow arrow. Not once did it work like a normal left turn signal, even with cars waiting to turn left.

@Joshua_Park_693 6 ай бұрын

These traffic lights were placed here in the early 2010s mainly so that people could cross the street because the traffic is very congested since the beach is right behind this intersection. The previous lights that were here were just two flashing yellow lights to tell people that this was a pedestrian crossing, but it was very dangerous due to the endless heavy traffic that passes through here.
