Museum of Traffic Control The museum of traffic control is now in its 4th year in its new location outside of Pella, Iowa. The Museum features over 100 operating vintage traffic signals and over 300 old highway signs. The signals are powered by actual older electromechanical -- as well as today's more modern -- traffic controllers. Mixed in with the highway signs and signals are old railroad signs, signals, and lanterns.
The sight of over 100 signals sequencing is truly amazing. Over 1700 square feet of traffic control sights and sounds await the visitor to this unique, one-of-a-kind museum. [John Rietveld, 03/22/2009]
Museum of Traffic Control Museum has moved from Fullerton, California to Pella, Iowa. Pella is located 41 miles SE of Des Moines. "The Museum of Traffic Control" is all indoors. There isn't a signal garden at the present time (too cold!). [John Rietveld, 12/27/2005]
