This 12 inch aluminum signal is made by Eagle. The animation on the left shows the operation of obsolete LEFT turn signals in Michigan. Some LEFT signals in Michigan begin a flashing RED indication when the thru traffic gets a green so that the LEFT traffic can proceed when the on coming thru traffic is clear. Once the thru traffic is stopped by a red signal, the LEFT traffic gets a green arrow, yellow arrow and then back to solid red. To see an animation of this that may provide a better understanding, click here. This type of signal function is now being phased out and replaced with 4 section signals with a flashing yellow arrow for the permissive phase of the LEFT turn signal. I have added an animation to show the operation of the new LEFT flashing yellow arrow signal. |

McCain Traffic Supply Aluminum 12 inch Signal. This signal is one of my least favorites. There is just nothing special about it. I call it my "Plain Jane McCain". |

Here is a signal that was a surprise to me! It is a poly 12 inch signal made by Automatic Signal/LFE. The reason it was a surprise is because one of my aunts saw my signal collection and decided to purchase this signal when she found it at a flea market. She told me that it was for my son, so I put it on the wall in his bedroom. It is identical to the other 12 inch poly LFE signal pictured above, except for the black doors and visors on the other one.
