Tired of sitting at endless red lights? Frustrated by lights that turn from green to red too quickly, trapping you in traffic? <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->

Now anyone can breeze through congested intersections just like the police, thanks to a $300 dashboard device that changes traffic lights from red to green, making nasty commutes a thing of the past and leaving other drivers open-mouthed at your ability to manipulate traffic.

    that's crazy... no matter how much you hate traffic lights, you'd hate it more if everyone had one of those. I'd be scared to death to go on a car.

    WANT TO SAVE YOUR MONEY!

    I'll tell you a secret.

    Its a Strobe Light.

    All you need to do is get a small strobe light and find the right flash rate to get it to work!

    Oh 1 catch!

    The trafic Light needs to have a special sensor on it.

    looks like a small cylinder with a wire comming out of it, pointing in the direction of trafic, above or next to the light them selves.

    What, it mimics emergency vehicle lights so that it clears the way for them?

    No, at night time when the standard light sequences are not required (Not much traffic at 4am) it picks up headlights, if there's no traffic going through at the other parts of the intesection it will change your lights to green meaning you don't have to stop. Endless amounts of times i've been in taxi's on my way home at the arse end of the night when they pull out their flashlight and flash it at the sensor to let them through. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What the article talks about, however, is a totally unique traffic management system though......

    This is one of those things that, everybody wants one, but nobody wants everybody to have one. It would be complete and utter choas... But I was waiting for about 7 minutes on the light here in edmond today, as the traffic is absolutely HORRIBLE. Oh its be so nice to have one of these. Oh well, I don't have the $ for it anyway, so no worries. :P
