FIXED FOUR-WAY SIGNALS In the New millennium |
| Variations |
| In some jurisdictions a fourth section was added to fixed four-way signals in order to display a second (redundant) red light. |
Albany, NY - Second St. & Quail St. (Crouse-Hinds type DT)

| When most fixed 4-way signals were being installed 8" diameter arrow lenses were permitted. (Under current standards all arrow lenses are to be 12 inches.) So it was not uncommon to see a fourth section or a pendant head that displayed protected left turn arrows. |

| New York State is the mother lode of old fixed 4-way traffic signals. There are hundreds of them still in service, many maintained in excellent condition. Most are Crouse-Hinds however the other major makers are still well represented in this state. |

(Troy has a number of GE 4-ways in excellent condition.)
