Converted sites usually have a beacon 50m upstream of the signals.
The beacon is mounted on a post of its own.

For inductive loop sites, there is no physical evidence.

mean visible infrastructure, I just meant that if I stood at the traffic
lights I would see them change whenever a bus came along.
