Traffic Light Question....INTERESTING!!!

[Frandy]

Hey guys,
This might sound really stupid, but forgive me A friend of mines sister has heard AND tried this theory, she says it works, i wouldnt have a clue...thats y u are here She says that by flashing you headlights when you are at the front of that traffic lights turns them green quicker, something to do with the sensors?? Maybe it gets tricked off because it thinks there might be more cars or something?? I wouldnt have the foggiest of ideas, so any ideas?? Or any other rumours you have heard of

Cheers Fellas :yeah:

I think you've been had, pretty sure there are sensors before the lines that sense when a car is over it.

 

[Shortstuff]

Yeah I think that theory has been disproved many times. In my experience it won't work even with traffic lights at roadworks.

What a load of bollocks!!!
Usually during the day the traffic lights are on a timer, so flashing ur lights, looking like a twat all the while will do nothing.
And outside peak hours n at smaller intersections then the traffic lights r set using the inductive pickups in the ground, the little lines mentioned above.
So whack ur sisters mate up the side of their head, might knock some sense into it. . .

Close but not quite. It only works when she flashes her HIGH BEAMS at the car next to her. Only works with cute girls :thumbsup: . Blokes shouldn't try it - you'll probably get beaten up.

Yeah and my dad used to fool me when I was about 6 years old into believing he had magic powers by clapping at them and they'd go green also...little did I know then he was just counting to 3 slowly when he saw the lights go red for the cars crossing in the opposite direction.

as someone else said... sensors embeded in the road

there was a set of traffic lights that (late at night) you would have to drive into the turning only lane, set the sensors off and then back up and go into the straight through lane to get the green light. they had done some road works there and the sensor must have been stuffed
