The maker of the LED insert in the single section signal is unknown since there are no markings on it.
It has been speculated that the insert might be made by McCain. This pedestrian signal is similar to what is currently being
installed in the Detroit metro area. It was put together by obtaining
the LED insert and the Durasig body separately. |

Durasig 12 inch head with plastic lenses. This is one of the few signals in
this collection that has never seen actual service on the street. Click on the picture to see more pictures of this and other durasig signals. |
| Alusig 8 inch "5 inline" signal head made of cast aluminum. All glass lenses. The body of this signal is identical to the polycarbonate Durasig head in the front of the three way cluster, but made of Aluminum, not Polycarbonate. Click on the picture to see more pictures of this signal. |

Alusig cast aluminum signal.
It represents what LEFT turn signals used to be like in Michigan before
signals were required to be all 12 inch sections. The only thing missing
here is a LEFT sign above the signal. Some
LEFT signals in Michigan begin a flashing RED indication when the thru
traffic gets a green so that the LEFT traffic can proceed when the on
coming thru traffic is clear. Once the thru traffic is stopped by a red
signal, the LEFT traffic gets a green arrow, yellow arrow and then back
to solid red. When these signals were used in the 8-8-12 configuration,
yellow arrows were not required. To see an animation of this that may
