true...there are some lights around me that seriously take like 5minutes to change if ur there late night, so annoying..and i usually dont run them cause i just imagine a cop staking it out somewhere out of sight, idk

they actually do sell things that change lights, they did a report on it on my local news about ppl who bought the strobes that ambulance's have in them, they flash the traffic lights and they change supposedly...i guess ppl were buying them off ebay and putting them in their cars

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.
