Sometimes traffic lights have antennas to receive signals from emergency vehicles to turn the light green in the direction the ambulance, firetruck is going and turn it red in the intersecting direction.
Usually when I've seen those, they are smaller, though.
are infrared, not radio-based. The installation in Hull appears to be a phased antenna array, which are increasingly commonplace for 800 MHZ public-safety transmitters.
This is why legislators should require in case of emergency contact information be marked on all utility poles & electrical boxes. Most of the time police/fire don't know who to contact when there's a problem let alone the average citizen.
These are part of a distributed antenna system (a DAS) used to provide wireless cell service over a large area (or fill in gaps in coverage) without the need for a large, conventional cell tower.

Looks like antennas to me.
Looks like antennas to me. Probably for some municipal or state agencies two way communications on land or at sea.. Where exactly in Hull?
I think you're right, I think
I think you're right, I think they're antennas for some type of radio system. They look like the antennas I used when I worked on Motorola systems.

Those are the antennas
that transmit the false GPS signals used to lure unsuspecting boaters into Harding's Ledge. .
Are they near traffic lights?

Those are infrared receivers
Those are infrared receivers (MIRT) and not radio frequency-based, right?
Correct. Ememgency vehicle pre-emption systems
are infrared, not radio-based. The installation in Hull appears to be a phased antenna array, which are increasingly commonplace for 800 MHZ public-safety transmitters.
pretty obvious
....it's part of JADE HELM.
Too far away for that, but
Too far away for that, but not too far to be a HAARP relay.
They look like radio antennas
They look like radio antennas for the VHF/marine range.
This is why legislators

They're for cellphone coverage

You know, for all the shootings in Hull.
Antennas. There's a similar
Antennas. There's a similar-looking antenna on a utility pole next to my office building's generator/transformer.
