ALDOT uses mostly Siemens traffic lights, but there are still a few old signals hanging around.

Incandescent Siemens double beacons.
I found some incandescent double beacons in northern Marshall County when going to my grandparents lake house near Guntersville, AL one day. The two yellow beacons had the top light burn out on both of them. These are located at the intersection of US 431 and Simpson Point Road.
There is also an electronic controller controlling these signals, however, there is an abandoned mechanical controller at the same intersection.
Strobe tubes on US 72 near Stevenson
I was heading up to Chattanooga, TN with my family when I saw these Crouse-hinds Type R single-section signals with strobe-tubes on them in-between some McCain signals. We had to stop and use the bathroom at a gas station that was on the corner of the intersection anyways, so I was able to get some pictures. These are located at Bank Street and US 72 near Stevenson, AL.
Cherokee's only traffic light
Cherokee has only one traffic light in the entire town. It is a Crouse-hinds Art-deco 4-way located at the intersection of Old Lee Highway and Main Street. This street view image is from 2008, but satellite view shows that it is still there.
Moulton's last 4-way
Moulton only has one 4-way left in the entire town. It is an Eagle 4-way located at the intersection Court Street and Main Street in downtown Moulton. This street view image is from 2008 as well, but satellite view shows that the 4-way is still hanging at the intersection.
You can still find plenty of incandescent signals around North Alabama. Most of them are Siemens, and they are slowly going away as ALDOT upgrades them to LED and/or replaces the signals.
Here are some Siemens with unusually large backgrounds. These are located along US 72 to the west of Athens, AL.
