Flashing Yellow/Red Pedestrian Signal with Green Ball at Pleasant, Maverick Street and Rubier Road Marblehead, MA.

The main road, Pleasant Street has signal heads 12-12-8-8, Red/Yellow Flashing Yellow and Green, both side streets have signal heads 12-8-8-8, Red, Flashing Red, Yellow and Green. There are also four single 11" pedestrian heads with the walking man/hand. 

Have not seen these signals operate but, I suspect the operation is similar to other flashing pedestrian signals with the added feature of fire preemption. Each direction has a preemption detector and the fire station is just a block or so away. So I figure the green balls only come into place when the preemption is activated for that particular direction, while all other directions will go to red.
