As a GA driver, ending up in places where traffic lights are horizontal, fixed to poles, and/or off to the side can be visually disorienting in busy intersections, simply because we're not used to it.
i personally have seen some of these dangling lights flying off / turning off due to wind while driving as well. it is honestly up to the city, so atlanta uses masts instead of cheap wires because it just doesn’t have space for wires
Because they’re safer, cheaper, and easier to maintain. Steel masts are susceptible to way more fatigue when blowing in the wind. Having the cables free flowing in the wind extends support. An entire steel structure falling is more dangerous than a single light falling
@@qafk2015 This is blatantly false. While wire masts are far cheaper, they are also far more fragile, far more unreliable and far more susceptible to spontaneous major malfunction from the elements as seen in this video, leaving an intersection suddenly without a traffic light which is not exactly safe.

Its good for truck drivers who have oversized loads and need to use the intersection.

Houston Tx Over 40 years ago most of the lights in the SW section were on temp wires. Today many of those still are on temp wires. Might depend on how the city allocated the funds.
Traffic lights on poles and arms are prone to metal fatigue, especially in windy conditions. Those metal traffic light poles have fallen on cars before, which is much more threatening than a singular light falling.
Noticed that the pedestrian signal goes out the instant the signal falls off. So does this mean the controller goes straight to flashing red when it detects a light has disconnected?
Look like the light fell, and then the pedestrian light went out shortly after that. Not sure where you’re getting it “flashing red” from. Am I missing something?

This is something that has always been a concern of mine, and here we have a prime example, as to what can happen with one of these Traffic Lights! This business of putting them on lines and such, and having them hang out over Traffic, is, as far as I'm concerned, very irresponsible! Somebody could have gotten hit and killed like that!

Absolutely. They need to do what we’ve done in the UK and in many other countries, to put their traffic lights on strong metal poles at the side of the road. People will still see them and will still stop at red lights
Why are US traffic lights always hanging from overhead lines? In the UK, even at our larger intersections, they’re on big thick poles that are sunken deep into the ground and often we have two sets of lights, a set mounted higher up for trucks and buses, and a lower one for smaller vehicles. There’s no need to be hanging them above your intersections, not only does it look incredibly tacky, it’s dangerous… as this video clearly demonstrates.
Most of the time it's pretty strong. It's quite cheap compared to large Poles, and if installed right shouldn't fall. This one was likely not installed correctly, and was obviously about to fall. People shouldn't have driven under it.
The hanging wire thing is a old design and is being phased out, it was just cheaper for small towns to use them instead of paying for the pole version.
Why are people outside of the usa so uneducated, ignorant and biased, refusing to do some research and judge the entire country and its people based on a single video?
In Miami, Florida, actually in most of Florida, traffic lights do not hang from rotting poles or dangling wires. They are properly installed on solid metal poles. Keep in mind that Florida does not have a car tax and does not have an income tax. Yet they can afford what in 99% of the USA are considered luxuries. What's your state, county, and city government doing with your tax money? Why are your street lights dangling from wires? We need to start removing these governments.
Basically everywhere in the country that isn't the south or Appalachia has metal poles. Also Florida definitely does have tax on car sales and yearly registration as well as gas tax and lots of tolls so I'm not sure what you're talking about
They all fly away, even some that are on mast arms.. The signal is usually plastic and the wind puts stress on the weakest point which is the plastic. Ive seen some horizontal mounted signals still fail but it is better having the point of mounting on both ends which can add a lot better strength but no signal is invincible when mother natures in town..
@taylorleger2678 Until you get to the multi lane mast mounted lights. Those be doing a jig in light wind (which can take the entire pole down after a while)
I think they should have roundabouts wherever there’s space for them, instead of lights. It can cost up to 1 to 1.5 million to build one, though those taking up less space can cost much less, but compared to the $200,000 up to $500,000 cost to install lights PLUS $8,000 to maintain the lights annually, roundabouts can save a lot of money in the long run. A developing town not far from where I live has installed only roundabouts, with zero traffic lights. There’s probably about 10 so far.

Stop sign only intersections are also statistically less safe than roundabouts.
They reduce congestion and are much safer than roads with lights or just stop signs.
At the beginning, the traffic light is directing traffic from the other direction and gets punished by the wind for doing it💀😂
At least it didn’t hit any cars, but still it shouldn’t be set up like that
My wonderful hometown Rochester, NY 😂😂 This is in the suburb of Gates at the corner of Lyell Ave and Lee Rd..I know that area very well..mind you those signals are relatively new..haven’t even been up 2 years yet lol
The light🚦 be dancing in the gale
I can’t help but Lmao when that Sign Fell😂
Where is this at I mean we have all the street signs tied on rope..........I mean how bad is it where ever that's at...🤔
Rochester NY
Not even 2 miles away from me
Alot of small suburbs in Illinois have these… i hate them!!!
Most rural podunk towns have their lights hung like this. It's not good, but the town usually doesn't have the money for sturdy lights and usually get very little funding from the government
Lovely New York State lol..mostly all cities in New York State (outside New York City) have the signals on wires like this
Thats speachless...
In Slovakia we don't have company, that makes the wires hanging traffic lights, everything is on poles
"I'm freeeee-" **SPLAT**
And to think that we've had Traffic Lights for over a century. (over 100 years) 👍🏼😎
That wasn’t nothing but the lord that prevented the light from falling onto any vehicle😮
Traffic light setup looks like it was designed by a 5 year old with some christmas lights
I actually seen shiii happen like this
Thank you to whatever divine force prevented that from falling on top of a car.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
He said you got the red, you got the red, no you got the red, no you... Screw it, Imma commit not a light.
Glad it didn’t hit anyone.
Those joints are actually huge, like 3-4 feet tall.
Carma man you better report it
Personally, I always thought that traffic lights were a bit stronger than that. 😂
