The Traffic Signal Museum |
|
The Traffic Signal Museum is not an official museum. Although it could be considered a museum by the definition in the dictionary: "A room or building which houses historical items", it is strictly a private collection owned by the web master of this web site. It is not open to the public. All of the signals in the collection were obtained legally. Some of the signals pictured have been sold off. I keep the pictures and information about the sold signals on the site for information purposes. If you are looking to buy a traffic signal, near the bottom of the opening page, just below the forum banner, there is a drop down menu with links to other traffic signal related sites. There are two entries that say "Used traffic signals and parts" One of those would be a good place to start looking!
In the fall of 1999, I set out on the Internet to see if I could find any info on obtaining used traffic signals. I wanted to add a signal or two to the first one I had owned since around 1985. It didn't take much searching and I found www.signalfan.com. After a couple of emails with "Signalfan" he directed me to ebay and the collection soon started to grow. In the summer of 2000 a web page was published containing animated pictures of the collection. Eventually, as the collection grew, there were too many pictures on one page for a standard modem internet connection, so the signals were categorized on different pages and the web site was born. At first the site address was a hard to remember members.home.com/jab8356/blah blah blah, so after much consideration the name of The Traffic Signal Museum was chosen for the site and trafficsignalmuseum.com domain was purchased in the Spring of 2002.
