What should you do if a traffic light is not working?
If the traffic lights are not working, the intersection is treated like a 4-way stop. That is, as if everyone has a stop sign.
What is the implication of amber light in traffic signal?
Amber light in traffic signals serves as a warning that the light is about to change to red. It signals drivers to prepare to stop if it is safe to do so, rather than proceeding through the intersection. The amber light helps enhance traffic safety by reducing the likelihood of accidents at intersections. Ignoring the amber light can lead to violations or dangerous situations if drivers attempt to rush through the change.
If you have entered the intersection to make a left turn and the light turns red without a clear opportunity to complete the turn safely, you may still be found at fault for the collision. Traffic laws typically require drivers to yield to oncoming traffic before completing a turn, even if the light changes. However, circumstances such as the timing of the light change and the actions of the oncoming vehicle could be considered in determining liability. It's crucial to gather evidence and witness statements to support your case.
How long is it for a traffic light to change?
It takes 2-3 minutes for a traffic light to change from green to red! (P.S I have counted the seconds myself!)

What does a blinking red arrow on the traffic light mean?
It means stop first then can proceed if clear
What is the purpose of the strobe light within the red traffic light?
The strobes embedded in (or mounted above) a traffic signal is intended as an attention getter. (They're generally used more often in rural areas.) Inattentive drivers will sometimes drive right through a red light - particularly if it's been red the entire time it's been in their view. The human visual perception system is geared to notice changes, so a static red is more difficult to perceive than a light that has changed from green to amber to red.
If you live in the US and you get a traffic light ticket do you have to pay it?
If you mean the tickets issued by red light cameras in some places, these are civil tickets in most states. You don't have to pay if you don't mind them messing up your credit rating by putting it on your credit report. Most places will not issue a criminal arrest warrant for those kind of tickets, they will only put it on your credit report and have a collection agency harass you.
