I think a standard would work for most of the stuff. But I don't think we
should make everything look exactly the same. In real life there are
different types of lights and signs and stuff, sometimes as close as from
one street to the next. It all depends on different things like the
contractor, the budget, the era the project was done in and other factors. I
do have an extra one of my hanging `traffic lights, as well as 6 of the type
I had last show that we can use. I have also made Ldraw plans for the gray
street lights from my scene if anybody wants to make a few.
