CASIGNS or
Hollywood Graham, I wanted to ask you about this sign/signal.
unknown
Then I realized this unique traffic signal has appeared earlier in the thread.
here by
sopas_ej. Pasadena at Colorado Blvd. and Fair Oaks Ave.

GaylordWilshire mentions it was built by Waterhouse Co. in Alhambra

this 'bango-shaped' signal posted by
GW includes the name of the street, La Brea Ave.
as well as instructions..."No U Turn".
So do either of you know any other details about the sign and how it worked?
Was it like a semaphore except enclosed in a circular frame? What parts lit up?
I also notice that the red & green lights (I'm guessing the color) are horizontal and
beneath the circle in the first two photos
and vertical and
inside the circle in the last photo.
