A question about the traffic lights:

I've noticed that some lights have a board with a white lining on its
edges, whereas others do not.

What's that about?

It was a design of traffic light introduced years ago, presumably in order
to make them easier to see. Evidently it wasn't found particularly useful,
as the requirement for the white-edged board was withdrawn. But some lights
still have them. They have no legal significance compared to other traffic
lights.
