This traffic light does its own unique signal pattern. The other sides do yellow red also. If I had waited longer, all sides to red green right before turning green.

  • Im from Smackover...the light is extremely old...and it isnt very strange at all...

  • most traffic lights in the US don't do two colors at one time and I don't think any in the world intentionally have a time when there are no lights on at all. it just struck out as cool to me. I definitely should've recorded a better segment of it.

    This is a traffic light from around the great depression when traffic lights were a new technology. To save money, companies back then put in only one yellow bulb and only needed on yellow light relay. The traffic light would show yellow on all sides. 0:18 unintentional overlay. 0:22 unintentional blackout.

  • @CrazySirenBoy Nothing strange at all about the Sequence....it's a very old signal and lots of them had a tendency to overlap phases like this...quite common a long time ago

  • @KatsukiLennox, I'd always thought it was a result of the signals that used to be only red and green w/no yellow. When they added the yellow section that's how they did it. But you hear things all the time. One thing I can do is confirm what Kats said, it's not a malfunction.

    Because you see it all the time its not strange, but to someone who doesnt see old center of the road street lights like that, it is very strange.

  • This traffic light is so cool, Ive never seen anything like it. Im making a book on Arkansas, of all the main streets and old downtowns throughout the entire state. This light is very unique and I hope the town preserves it.

  • @freebrickproductions traffic signals in the UK do this, its pretty strange

  • Some traffic lights will show RED AND YELLOW before green, but this is probably a malfunction.

  • someones engine is fucked

  • @LovesHerMusic0128
