Traffic Lights After Upgrade | Westminster & Sherwood

This video highlights an interesting traffic light upgrade at the intersection of Westminster Avenue and Sherwood Avenue in Warren, Michigan. The modernization here primarily involves an increase in the size of the traffic light heads from older 8-inch units to new, larger 12-inch heads, while largely retaining the existing mixed-brand LFE and Durasig equipment on the traditional wire span. The pedestrian lights also feature a curious mix of an old worded Durasig unit and a newer LED symbol-based head.

This video documents a unique type of traffic light upgrade at Westminster & Sherwood, where the primary change was upsizing the existing LFE and Durasig traffic light heads from 8-inch to 12-inch for improved visibility. The setup retains the traditional wire span mounting and a distinctive mix of an old worded Durasig pedestrian signal alongside a newer LED symbol-based pedestrian head.
