I'm from California, and all of our traffic lights are the same in most areas, as well as most of the western states but I noticed that in most of the eastern U.S. (especially the Atlanta area and places in PA), the traffic lights are different at each intersection, like at one intersection they will be hanging from wires, at another half are on wires half are on poles, at another they're on a wire going diagonally across the road, at another they're black, another yellow, some have back plates, some don’t, etc.
I found it sort of annoying how they were like that and I know it’s not a big deal, it’s only petty, but wouldn’t it make more sense to just have a standard set of traffic lights for all intersections?
