A self-powered cable suspended traffic signaling system comprising: vertical support structures; and at least one of a conductors cable having a plurality of power or power and data hub receptacles, mechanical support cable/s, a power generating device/devices, a power storage device/devices, a processor with resident memory and code, a sensing power generating and a signaling device/devices, wherein: the conductors cable is mechanically coupled to the mechanical support cable; the conductors cable employs a plurality of power or power and data hub receptacles spaced apart along its length; power consuming and/or generating electrical device/s is/are detachably coupled to the plurality of the conductors cable hub receptacle/s; the power or power and data devices are mechanically coupled to the mechanical support cable/s; and power or power and data to a suspended cable signaling device flows from at least one of: the system power generating device, the power storage device, or a combination thereof. 2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein power can be connected to the signaling from an external source. 3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the sensing devices' input is processed by a processor and the output prioritizes the operation of a signaling device. 4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a wireless communication device is coupled to at least one of: the master processor, a cable mounted device, and/or a detached device in the proximity of said system. 5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a detachable device cord & plug connector connects at least one of a plurality of hub receptacles. 6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein a provision made in the detachable cord & plug connector, the hub receptacles, or both, enables selecting a power, a data, or power and data circuit/s. 7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of wind driven, photovoltaic, and/or fuel cell power generating device/devices powering at least one system device. 8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one cable coupled device employs at least one of: a processor with memory and code, a controller, and/or a power storage device. 9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a camera supported by AI code and coupled to at least one mechanical support cable employs image correction algorithms and/or a gyroscopic device to maintain image clarity. 10 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a camera coupled to at least one mechanical support cable employing a protective hood. 11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the primary conductors cable can employ a plurality of detachable hub connectors types to provide power or power and data to the cable system devices. 12 . A detachable enclosure mounted on a vertical structure comprising: a master processor with memory and code, a transceiver, a power storage device, a power management module, and input or input and output power or power and data receptacle/s, wherein; a power or power or data conductors cable having a plurality of hub receptacles is coupled to at least one of the enclosure's receptacle/s; power or power or data flow to or to and from a detachable enclosure and at least one electronic device coupled to the conductors cable hub receptacle; and the detachable electronic device/devices electrically coupled to the conductors cable hub receptacle is/are mechanically coupled to at least one suspended mechanical support cable secured to said vertical structure/s. 13 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein a pole structure employs a harmonics action cancelling device. 14 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the detachable enclosure is communicatively coupled to other like systems within an intersection, remote intersections, and coupled mobile and non-mobile device/devices. 15 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein input received from at least one of: a cable, a vertical structure, and/or sensing device mounted in the proximity of the enclosure prompts activation, deactivation, and/or operational mode change to at least one power device coupled to the conductors cable hub receptacle. 16 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein data received from at least one of: a cable, a vertical structure, an input device in the proximity of and/or remote location, is processed by the master processor AI code, prompting anticipatory output action in operationally sequencing at least one signaling device. 17 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein data received from at least one cable, a vertical structure, and/or an input sensory device in the proximity of the enclosure is processed by the master processor AI code, prompting communication to a remote device. 18 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein data received from at least one of: a cable, a vertical structure, and/or an input sensory device processed along with at least one master processor programmatic parameter, and/or remote input prompts at least one output to a cable mounted, a structure mounted, and/or a remote device. 19 . The detachable enclosure of claim 12 , wherein the transceiver of the enclosure communicates with at least one cable mounted device by wire and/or wirelessly. 20 . A method of rapidly deploying self-powered autonomous electrically powered devices in the vicinity of a roadway intersection, the method comprising: mounting a detachable power management module on at least one vertical support structure; suspending structural cabling between at least two vertical support structures; and coupling to the suspended structural cabling power or power and data conductors cable/s having a plurality of hub receptacles spaced apart the length of the suspended structural cabling and at least one power generating and/or consuming electrical device electrically coupled to the power or power and data conductors cable hub receptacle and mechanically coupled to the suspended structural cable, wherein power or power and data flow between said device/s and the detachable power and data management module.
