I noticed that the new Wilson Bridge over the Potomac has conventional 12" vertical red-yellow-green signals to stop traffic when the draw span is about to be lifted. On the original bridge, the signals are horizontally aligned red-green-red. How are these sequenced when a bridge lift is about to occur on the old span? photo: http://www.aaroadtrips.com/maryland095/i-095_nb_exit_002_01.jpg The below photo from 1962 show what appears to be a single signal on a short mast arm facing in each direction.
