TYPE H AND K TRAFFIC
SIGNALS
In response to the demand for a more brilliant signal indication to meet driving
conditions, the Crouse-Hinds Company developed a completely new line of
traffic signals around 1955.

The new type H highway signals are equipped with 12-inch lenses, in contrast to
the 8-inch lenses used in conventional signals. They were recommended for
installation on major highways and other thoroughfares where traffic moves at
high speeds and longer stopping distances are required.

The K signal is a combination of a 12-inch red section with a standard 8-inch
amber and green section. They combined the advantages of the large, brilliant
red indications used in type H signals with the lower cost of the standard 8-inch
signal sections.

Type H and K signals were made the same as the D and DT signals.
