Traffic lights in Ottawa

[STO_1601 6]

Went by Merviale/Meadowlands last week.

The Aluminium 12-8-8-12 signal is gone (Only two Aluminum 12-8-12 signals remain), Loud-Invero also stated on CPTDB that the Aluminium 12-8-8-12 at Waller/Daly on signal is gone.

This now marks the end of an era in Ottawa.

One of the Aluminium 12-8-12 signal on Sir John A MacDonald/Dominion is now replaced with an LED 12-8-12. Only one remains there.

The other that still remain are Albert/Bronson (2 right turn signals) and Lees/Highway 417 (2 straight ahead signals).

The traffic lights on Carling Avenue at Lincoln Fields Station are now hanging on large wires.

The traffic lights at SJAM and Dominion are all now LED. so that means the aluminum 12-8-12s signals are gone.

All that remains now are Bronson/Albert and Lees/417 off ramp.

Carling/Alpine is now all LED.

If aluminum, probably for scrap. The rest are junked given signals in the mid 90's were switched to much cheaper, slimmer, plastic. Some people manage to recover them and sell then on kijiji and what not. Basically in short, they're disposed of.

Drove past Bronson/417 off ramp the other day and I noticed the traffic lights are all LED with sliver poles.

I couldn't see over the bridge, but I believe that means the 8-8-8 signal with the diagonal line is gone too!

The traffic lights at Iris/Transitway is now all LED and hanging on overhead wires.

Found Google Street View from October 2020.

The 8-8-8 signal with diagonal line on Bronson/417 off ramp still stands!

The end of this video indicates that the traffic lights on the south Queensway off-ramp to Riverside will finally be getting proper poles and the signals will remain 12-12-12s.

They were replaced shortly after with full MTO spec signals. Sadly, the "Cyclop" signals are gone as well.
