Never seen anything like that before where the main lights are off and arrow left on
I wonder if that green arrow is being fed from an auxiliary supply (such as the box sign supply), hence it not going off with the signals.
What's more confusing is the signals being part time. Does anyone know why they're there? It might be glaringly obvious, but I can't see anything special while quickly looking at the map!

If we are mentioning unique signals, then I think the llanwrst bridge wig wag's deserve a mention.

I'd forgotten about those, are they still there? Although the strange arrangement serves a purpose, I'd have expected it to have just become a signalised junction with shuttle working on one arm by now.
This has been featured before. Perhaps not unique but there is a cycle only right turn filter here https://www.google.com/maps/@53.4143509 ... 312!8i6656 which can't be very common.
Also since GSV has recorded, the signals have recently been upgraded to show the bicycle symbol inside the colour spectacles.

The only two I know of in the area around me were built a few years ago on the same road here and here. One is strangely only a pegasus crossing - there is no parallel toucan.

One locally on the A6033 in Greater Manchester where the Pennine Bridleway crosses at Summit. Horses are clearly expected to use the pavement, judging by the position of the high-level call button (and pile of dung!).
I believe there are one or two in the Newmarket area.

They've really gone out their way to over-sell CLS aspects too, and in doing so, have written "this also reduces the chance of breakages, as there is just one light instead of many", when of course the opposite is actually true.
Can't get a link on my phone to street view, but in Selby on Recreation Road there are a set of what look like very old signals for the passage under the former ECML. Not many of these about I'm sure.
