Hehehe, I remember a story about a guy who used to do just that.
Most modern traffic lights have a sensor that allows them to recognize when an emergency vehicle is approaching in order to make sure first responders aren't held up at red lights.
I don't think it works for all vehicles though. I think the strobe has to be at a certain height in order for the light to be triggered. I may be wrong about that though and perhaps it works with all vehicles.
