    mast arm. i think of hanging on lines as an east coast thing, which is probably not accurate.

    it used to be one of the first two, though VDOT has been steadily converting things to mast arms wherever possible since at least the 1990s.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    number 3, I think? Although I never really paid attention to it
  • For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    Mast arm here in SA, I'm pretty sure.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Mast arm, although when you get into Philly the box span is way more common.
  • I've never seen the first one in my life. I think it's pretty much exclusively the third one hereabouts.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I have definitely seen the diagonal span but it's quite rare and I've mostly seen it in really old areas, like out in the residential district near Penn's Landing.
  • amazingly, this is something i haven't paid attention to yet with regards to frequency, but i've definitely seen all three styles before

    The diagonal span is fairly common in Ohio, albeit usually in rural areas or small communities.

  • what im learning here is that apparently in other places in the world people love hanging large heavy objects on strings above where their cars go? terrifying

    Mast arm in the sensible places that finally figured out heavy winds are a thing in the valley.  I don't think I've seen diagonal since I was little.

    Wait, there's one weirdass K-intersection back home that has sort of a triangle of lights strung up...somehow.

    Looks like they've simplified it since I lived there.  I think it used to be a 4-way, but now it's just an oddly-angled T.

    Actually looking at those pictures I feel like I actually have seen such a thing and maybe just not noticed the diagonal-ness. It's definitely not common in places I've been, though.
