Trafic light ownage

Jaged · 2004-03-23, 08:39 PM

I wish I had $500 dollars burning a hole inn my pocket now. Check out this device. Its the thing that ambulances and police enforcement agencies use to switch traffic lights to green so they can get to where they need to go faster. This sight is selling them to consumers for $500. Now I am not claiming that they are entirely legal, but what the hell.

It does, at least in some towns. Some towns don't have the smart lights, mine does though.

Anywho, I'm pretty sure you can make one yourself for a hell of a lot less then 500. All it does is replicate the frequency of the flashing lights on the cops light bar, find that frequency, and its all pie after that.

Saw a special somewhere that showed a guy who made one out of a mag-light, he even showed it in action.

those are the old ones, now newer lights are instaled with broadcast IR devices, just like this one, they arent in all cities, but in larger metropolitan areas they are, and they actually do market them to the public because of private security industry, but the dealer has to trust u will use it for what u say u are, and u have to have proof...but yes, they do actually work

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Jaged · 2004-03-23, 09:09 PM

I saw a small article about it in wired magazine. That gives it some credibility

I know theres one that cops have to turn the light red, and I know you can get that (probably illegally) so maybe they can make one that does the opposite.

o.fn, but its kool. I think they tried to make it illegal period.

Such a small percentage of traffic lights have this ability. I work for a planning dept. and I don't require they use those "smart lights". In fact "smart light" isn't correct, that refers to those lights where it knows you are making a Left turn and the light goes on for you, but sometimes it doesn't. There are magnetic loops in the ground, but I digress. It's IR or shortwave freq. that alerts the light that you are comming. The full cycle of the light has to go through too... yellow, red all way, then green. That is upward of 5 - 7 seconds depending.

Bottom line is the one time you would use this late at night there would be a cop on a side street and see something fishy and your ass is grass....

That's nice, but no one else seems to think its O F N, and if they do, they probably don't care.
