Had no idea, I never noticed this. (and I thought I was a geek ) You're right, I looked around here in St Paul and all of the stoplights I saw were "black plate". BTW, the intersection you asked me to Google was less than 1/2 mile from my apartment when I lived in Milwaukee a couple decades ago. Seeing that corner brought back memories.
Nearly all of NYC features yellow plate stoplights as well. Generally, older cities and established towns with older infrastructure that don't get updated as often will likely feature yellow plate stoplights- primarily in the eastern US.

I'd agree with this, but culturally these places are not the rust belt. they dialect, culture, and demographics all are unquestionably southern. Charleston has nothing culturally in common with Cleveland or Pittsburgh.

yes but I wouldn't say culture, dialect and demographics have anything to do with being rust belt. The eastern cities in the rust belt such as Syracuse and Rochester have nothing in common with places like Toledo or Akron.

Charleston, WV reminds many people of a smaller Pittsburgh.

Actually apart from accent they are quite similar. At least I never noted a difference. And I've been to all cities mentioned several times. Particularly Toledo.
