Tattered Downtown Traffic Light

The traffic light hanging over the main intersection of Main & Centre in Shenandoah is in need of attention.
If the tape dries out and fails to hold, the whole thing can easily wind up on the ground.
This is a junction of two State Highways (54 & 924). PennDOT can you help us out?

At first thought that it was a new style helicopter ....

Looks precarious Dave. Well seen and shot. "V"

Duct tape is like The Force...it has a dark side and a light side, and it holds the world together. Only in "Shendo" will you find something like this. Great shot, Dave. V

Wow, a real shot of the state of affairs. Goes to show, if you can't fix it, Duct it…V

Nice capture, Dave. I can't believe they patched it that way and left it in service. Looks like they used an ACE bandage to tie it off to the upper support. Usually they disconnect them and put temporary STOP signs for both directions until the new light is installed. Big Vote for your perceptive eye.
