Econolite Traffic
Signals
|
These signals are identical short groove back 8 inch signals. The visors on these signals are interesting
to me because they go out from the face of the signal at almost a 90
degree angle, unlike Eagle and Crouse Hinds tunnel visors which have a
definite slope down to them. |

The signal above has 3M adapters in
place of standard lenses and visors. |
Twelve inch pedestrian signal with symbolic commands lenses. Most modern pedestrian signals in the United States have square or rectangular lenses. This signal came from British Columbia, Canada. It is all plastic, including the lenses, but the lenses are round. They also have Canadian style HAND MAN symbols. The hand is an outline rather than a solid hand as seen on US signals. The Canadian style walking man has a longer stride than the US version. |

This is a 9 inch pedestrian
signal. From this front view, it looks just like an Eagle 9 inch
pedestrian signal, but the visors are not as long and tilt down a bit
more than the Eagles do. It has glass lenses with the words masked on
the outside of the lenses. Click on the picture to

12 inch "Bulls-Eye"
signals. The name Bulls-Eye comes from the unique pattern on the back
of the signal bodies that resembles a bulls eye. Click on either signal to see more pictures.
The signal with 12 inch the WAIT WALK lenses is a square door and the
vehicle signal is a round door. Other than that, they are the same type
of signal body. The pedestrian signal lenses in the 12 inch size have
been seen in Hawaii. These were also made in 8 inch sizes which were
more widely used. |

Neon Econolite pedestrian signals.
The
first signal has an Econolite body and a modular neon unit made by ICC. The second signal,
my favorite, has
tubes that are bent in the shape of the commands. You can see more about either one by clicking on each
picture. The third one has an identical body to the first one, but has
exposed tubes bent in the shape of the commands like the second signal.
