THE CASE FOR THE WALKOUT CANTILEVER

Cantilevers have received increasing emphasis over the last few years for several reasons. Street and roadways have become wider and safety legislation has required signaling devices to be set back further from the roadway. Unlike the traditional flashing light signal, cantilevers put the signal over the traffic lanes, providing greater safety for both highway and rail traffic. And they can be set further back from the roadway.
