The new traffic lights are now LED lights and do not ever burn out.
Typical old fashioned traffic lights use incandescent bulbs and also generate some heat. Therefore, in colder climates the lights themselves helped keep the lights free of ice and snow. Light Emitting Diodes (LED) have now replaced the bulbs in many traffic lights because although they cost more, LED's last longer and use less power. However, they can be a problem in colder climates as noted.
green lights are harmless

LEDs are used in traffic lights, on computer lights, car lights and indicators. You can also purchase LED flashlights and torches. Can be used in small devices for a variety of uses.
yes they are led lights
The possibility of your mother being trouble by the LED traffic signs is very minimal. However the risk does exist due to the fact that flashing LED lights of a certain frequency can trigger a photosensitive epileptic response in some people. However it is unlikely that the traffic signs frequency is high enough to do so.
LED traffic signs utilize LED bulbs to give high density, clear signage. High on the safety rating scale, LED options offer movement (blinking lights) and are easily readable from a distance. Whereas reflective signs require an outside light source to be readable, LED signs are lit from within.
There are many popular types of LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights for the holiday season. This includes LED icicle lights, white wire LED lights and regular LED lights.
I would start with the town, city or state municipal agency. There could possibly be rules, and regulations about using certain LED lights for construction in your area.
I don't think that only GE lighting is dealing with traffic lights, several companies are having research and development facilities working for traffic light to improve the quality and reliability.
