Re: Uhh flashing red would not be safe
Yes, here in TN where monster thunderstorms occur, it is quite usual to have traffic lights flash.
But if I understand correctly (from conversation with colleagues), traffic lights are HARD WIRED to have a default state that is one direction "flashing yellow" (proceed with caution) and the other "flashing red" (STOP before proceeding). Especially remote ones...
I have seen it in a number of southern states, which is not so surprising when you think of the exciting weather...
If the hacks allowed the setting of green on both directions (a al Italian Job), that would be a problem. Otherwise everything else is probably not so dangerous, except of course how drivers behave...
I'm sure we have all sat at *that* traffic light in London that doesn't change....
