Change Traffic Lights With A Universal R...

I have no idea if this really works or not. But I thought I'd post it to get your thoughts on it. If it does work than this video is only for instructional purposes only.

if this did work you would have to turn the lights for the cross traffic red in order to avoid getting hit.

its all computerised, this wouldnt work on any old traffic light system.

well... it would work, but i dont think using a remote control will do the trick, the infrared LED in the remote does not emit enough light for that sensor to pick it up, you will need at leasr a minimum on 8 to 16 infrared leds to switch the signal, this was my capstone project in my electronics class back in 2003 and it did in fact change the light. but the problem is, most of the trafic lights with this type of sensor got a camera too, which will be so easy for the camera to pick up your signal as a strob light + you license plat number. so seriously, you will be fined up your ass and go to jail for that.

When emergency vehicles go by ALL the lights turn RED. Also the blue looking sensor at the top will start to blink alerting the traffic that an emergency vehicle is coming. I have a radar detector that flashes "emergency vehicle" when an ambulance is coming so i'll test it on that first. Cool trick idea i figure it doesnt work though.

it works in india, ive seen a worker do it, they dont have the high tech ones that we have nowadays, and im not shitting u, but i never tried this is canada. This is also a great way to cause an accident.

take a video camera and record the eye of the remote, push buttons while doing this. play back the recording and see if the eye lights up. some do and some dont. but i do not believe the remote has enough power to reach that traffic sensor, most cant even reach the fucking t.v. ten feet away.
