The typical height of a traffic light signal head is around 30 to 36 inches.
Traffic lights, essential for managing traffic flow, come in standard dimensions to ensure visibility and uniformity. While the height of the entire pole supporting the traffic light can vary significantly depending on the location and intersection, the individual signal head (the part containing the red, yellow, and green lights) usually falls within a specific size range.
Here's a breakdown of typical traffic light dimensions:
- Height of Signal Head: 30-36 inches
- Width of Signal Head: 9-12 inches
- Diameter of Each Light (Red, Yellow, Green): Typically 8 or 12 inches
The overall height from the ground to the top of the traffic light fixture depends on the pole and mounting hardware used. This height is variable and determined by factors such as road width, visibility requirements, and local regulations.
