Скачать или смотреть Left Turn Arrow Traffic Lights LED Upgrade | Greenfield & Fenkell

This video documents the unique mix of vintage charm and modern safety upgrades at the busy intersection of Greenfield Road and Fenkell Avenue on Detroit's West Side. This location features a fascinating hybrid setup, catching the signals in the middle of a transition from incandescent to LED technology. The intersection retains its classic span wire layout but features a specific arrangement for managing left turns. The span wire holds 2 12-inch 3-way Clusters that still utilize a classic Incandescent Green Arrow Beacon for the protected turn phase. The distinct Center 2-way Flashing Red Left Turn signal has been upgraded from its old hardware to a crisp, new Econolite LED unit. The through lanes are still controlled by 2 Standard Incandescent heads hanging on the wire. To aid visibility for turning traffic, there is a Pole Mounted 4-Section Incandescent Head specifically for the left turn lane. The pedestrian infrastructure has seen a significant boost. The old setup of 6 Durasig Pedestrian Signals has been upgraded. They now feature Retrofitted LED kits for brightness, along with the installation of 2 new Countdown Pedestrian Signals to improve crossing safety.

👍 Do you find these hybrid intersections interesting? It’s cool to see the old incandescent bulbs still glowing alongside the instant on/off of the new LEDs. Subscribe to DeTrafficStreetBeatz for more documentation of Detroit's signal history! Don't forget the notification bell 🔔!
