Utility Pole Lights
Utility Pole Street Lighting
Close(X)
Like most roads across the USA served by street lighting, many outer borough New York City streets are lit by lamps hung from utility poles, also known as Yard Arms. Since the 1950s, these have generally sported one type of mast arm, a 2 piece elliptical mast braced by a small fin style bracket. Prior to the 1950s, more elaborate masts with scroll work bracing were used.
