Will flicking headlights change traffic lights from red to green?

Factual Questions

At certain of our traffic lights, unless one has a car approaching the intersection to one’s right or left, one could sit there for hours waiting for the light to change.

When that happens, I just wait till I think the light should have cycled, and then gradually ease away from my stop. Still makes me paranoid, though. :wink:

I have noticed it a lot around here, in southern Ontario. Hamilton, Guelph, Waterloo, Mississauga all seem to have that little box sensor up on busy intersection lights. I think its a great idea, and I do hope it becomes more wide-spread.
