What is amazing is that the code is apparently something that a universal remote can be hijacked to send too. Can I get some input on this? Seems pretty easy to do if you have a universal remote. Granted I'm a student without TV, but someone on this forum must have one. http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/94659/Change_Traffic_Lights_With_A_Universal_Remote.html | ||

Everyone just slows down or stops, then whoever is in front of the ambulance moves until they're out of the way. I think that video is full of crap. I've never heard about anything like this. I don't know where you're from, but around here if a light is red at an intersection and there's a shitton of traffic in the way, the ambulance changes the light. It definitely happens, and those signlas are definitely real.

It is, but there's a flashing light on top of the things. The video quite clearly showed that. | ||

Edit: I don't think a remote has the range, speed or power. | ||

As a Dane you should know better  They (the Danish government) once considered experimenting with sensors in traffic lights so emergency vehicles could move unhinderede trough the traffic, but the idea was dropped, because of its abusiveness. Here we just stop or drive in to the side if there's an emergency vehicle coming. | ||

FYI: I don't think I've ever seen this in NY. Maybe it's the more newly built metropolitan cities. | ||
