Saw FLASHING RED lights at Keele & Sheppard - Which then TURNED GREEN... Is it a GLITCH?
I was driving through the intersection of Keele & Sheppard and noticed something unusual with the traffic lights.
The light was green at first, but by the time I reached the intersection it was already red. I came to a complete stop at the red light, and it stayed solid red for a 20-30 seconds. After that, the red lights started flashing briefly in all directions, and then the intersection returned to normal operation and continued its regular cycle, turning green shortly after.
What's strange: During the flashing red phase, I also saw a few drivers continue straight through the intersection on the Flashing RED. They came to COMPLETE STOP and then went STRAIGHT on FLASHIGN RED. To me it seems they treated it like first-come, first go. But the lights TURNED Green in few seconds anyways.
Does anyone know what causes this?
