A triangular truss walkout cantilever for displaying railroad warning signals above the individual lanes of a road or highway at a railroad grade crossing is disclosed. The cantilever includes a cantilever arm attached to a vertical roadside mast. The cantilever arm has three parallel truss members that form a triangular cross section. These members are reinforced by a system of struts and braces. A catwalk allows a worker access to the warning signals for maintenance and no braces interfere with such access.

Triangular truss walkout cantilever

A foundation form is pre-fabricated, shipped to job site, placed in a hole, leveled, and concrete is poured into it to form a large surface area footing topped by a pedestal having anchor bolts projecting therefrom to secure a cantilevered arm and mast, such as for traffic lights or railroad signals, and the hole is back-filled without removing the form panels.
