Albany has a lot of the circa-1950 Crounse-Hinds of Syracuse Traffic Signals and controllers. Quite reliable, they don't always work properly in cold weather.

The controllers (shown in this video) are prone to malfunctioning in cold weather due to the grease binding up and causing 5 minute yellow lights and 20 minute red lights.

Here is some of the old traffic signals, as shown on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jryVhVsYV_s
