State DoT's Got My Memos

Seems like my blog has been having an impact on some state highway departments based on some of the innovating new road traffic signal indications I have been seeing lately. For example I that Diverging Clear has been one of the more common "non-standard" highway signals for a while now, but in New Jersey I found an example of Approach Diverging!

And if that doesn't get your cab signals flipping, while in Maryland I caught an example of another popular new highway signal indication, the flashing diverging arrow, which I assume is either an alternative to R/Y→ Diverging Approach or perhaps some kind of Slow Approach 🤔

This is a somewhat new development after the appearance of flashing Red arrows which is some kind of Diverging Restricted Proceed 🤷.  Anyway, who knows what they'll think of next? Perhaps something with flashing green. 😏

Failed a Spot check 2

Unlike last time, I'm the one that failed the roll, completely missing a classic signal in the DuBois, PA Buffalo and Pittsburgh CTC Island, even thought I was looking right at it. 🙄

Exactly What It Says on the Tin

Here is one resignaled interlocking I really can't complain about.  Truth in advertising.

A Signaling MURDER!

Little late for Halloween, but I thought I'd post this picture I found here.

See it's a murder!  A group of crows is called a murder. :-)
