Zürich - September 2000
Zürich has converted some of its traffic signals from the standard
light bulb to LEDs. So it's really neat to see the red-yellow phase in
LED's. Sadly though, pedestrian and bike signals still don't have
red-yellow.
Another point, the signal structure you saw in Zürich 1997, has been
removed in 1998/99.
LED Signal Urania- + Bahnhofstrasse - the right side
Compare to this older photo:
New LED signal at Urania/Bahnhofstrasse - the left side.
and note even the pedestrian signals are fully LED
(red+yellow+green)

Bahnhofquai, next to Zürich HB
(Central
station/Gare Centrale/Stazione Centrale)
Note, if you see a small yellow light next to the 3-light signal, it will
blink on the green phase.
This light is located at the the Sihlbrücke/Talstrasse intersection,
facing towards Zürich See
large signal at Utoquai, just south of Bellevueplatz
New non-LED signal in East Zürich
Note, look at the filament in the yellow light.
