Okay, all jokes aside, this scares me. I read an article on the Detroit News about this little box that changes traffic lights. Yeah, that’s right, just like in _The Fast and Furious_. And, yes, you can, in fact, buy them on the Internet. For instance, at MIRT, the Traffic Light Control Device. Frankly, I think you should have to provide proof that you’re an emergency department of some kind before they’re allowed to sell this to you, but that’s apparently not how it is right now. So, go, tell your local government about this and get them out-lawed for the regular public. Get this safety hazzard off the street.
