Tuesday Transportation Oddities

I’m not sure how long traffic signals typically last but at one intersection in downtown Beacon, New York you’ll find a light that’s been in place since 1926. Actually, the dummy traffic light was only recently restored after being destroyed by an errant driver. Similar signals also can be found in New York in Croton-on-Hudson and Canajoharie.
