I think this is the ACSC early attempt at traffic regulation at this intersection. And it was easy, just one signal right in the middle of the street!
Thanks guys. I guess I'm looking thru the lens of hindsight when evaluating that accident-waiting-to-happen traffic signal. After all, it seems to work perfectly in this c. 1930 postcard:

Text with postcard says this traffic signal was developed by Auto Club of So Cal between 1928 and 1931, so you were right about that.
