Ok not really lol but they are not too far! Notice the remots ballast tucked right between the pole and the bracket. Is it a Line maker Ovalite? Wonder if it still uses MV or has been retrofitted with MH

I drove by this light at this intersection, caught my eye while I was at the red light. As you can see, the davit poles are quite old, if you go back to earlier streetviews you can see they were all LPS, this is the only one left. It's days are definitely numbered, quite sad, an end of an era, I remember I'd see them all the time when I was a kid during road trips.
