New LED Traffic Lights Upgrade | Harper & Dickerson

This video showcases the newly upgraded and fully operational traffic lights at the intersection of Harper Avenue and Dickerson Street in Detroit, Michigan. This complete modernization replaces the previous, unique system which featured 12-inch Durasig 4-way clusters and unusual sidewalk-mounted signals with 8 new 12-inch MoboTrex Durasig style signals. These new heads are all equipped with reflective backplates and are supported by a modern 'wire box span', alongside 8 new Countdown Pedestrian Signals.
