What is the reason for flashing red traffic lights?

Flashing red lights may be permanent or temporary (e.g. when the programmed sequence fails).A flashing red light means STOP, then proceed when safe.If it is a 4-way flashing red, cross traffic will also stop, and the intersection becomes identical to one with stop signs. This is a safety feature in some programmed signals. If only one direction has the flashing red (such as a road that intersects a busy highway), the traffic entering the highway must stop, and never has the right-of-way.* Some international traffic signals use a flashing red in place of steady red, to attract the attention of drivers where there is a profusion of commercial lights.


What things are in the back of a wind turbine?

There are a few things on the backs of Wind Turbines: 1) Anemometers - wind speed sensors that help the turbine fine tune its blade pitch to be most efficient. 2) Wind Vanes - wind direction sensors that keep the turbine lined up with the wind, or turn it away from the wind when the gusts are too strong and can damage the turbine. 3) Visibility Lighting - red and white lights to meet requirements of aviation authorities for visibility.

Green means go and that everything is O.K., Yellow means slow down and warns you that you will have to stop soon, red means stop and that it is not safe to keep going, flashing yellow lights are ment to tell you to slow down and be careful, and red flashing lights are meant to be used as a stop sign were you have to wait for others to pass to be able to get through it's also a warning sign for high traffic.
