I can see the FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER!

Is throughole cheaper than smd?

Lies! That’s how they send the waves to control your brains!!! It’s actually a 5G aerial

Technology Connections on YouTube had a great video about these lights. Also, he had one on set and they are fucking huge
vengfish
2020 and still mostly thru hole components, how?
eastend666
I wish they could read traffic patterns and operate accordingly. This isn't how they function in my town.
LupusIgnis
A friend of mine works with exactly that. It is possible, but the security nightmare makes progress slow.

so thats why BMW drivers arent required to stop

What about those smooth-looking ones that you can never tell if they're working or not.

No red, yellow and green banana for scale?

Which is the part that makes it take f-ing forever to turn green at the corner of Putnam and Magazine St.?

i like traffic lights i like traffic lights i like traffic lights i like traffic lights i like traffic lights that is what i said
Appel99
This seems utterly complicated being you can run LEDs with the existing Voltage and some resistors.
LupusIgnis
There is a lot of redundant security in traffic lights, making sure that two crossing lanes don't have green at the same time, etc.

As suspected! 5G Covid transmission circuits! SUMBITCH!

I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights, but only when they're green.

So glad most are LED now....The ones that used filament bulbs were always either out or dim AF.
arch4ngel
They do cause other problems however. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/led-traffic-lights-trouble-in-winter-because-they-don-t-melt-s

Boatsntoes
But I get the idea from the link. No excess heat is generally a good thing. Incandescent are 10% efficient......

When I was in high school science fair I engineered an automated traffic control system including car inserts. Part Of my display was

An old traffic light. They're ducking huge!! Anyway the traffic dept gave me a broken one for free. I've still got it. Thank you based traf

My local goodwill had one the other day, for SOME reason. I had no use for it, but was fun to look at.

gadgetneo
Hey, OP, I have a question...why do we even have three separate lights any more? Why not have one light with LEDs that change from G-Y-R?
CincySanta
Familiarity is part of the reason, people know the order they light in (or can make correct guesses if something isn’t working).
LupusIgnis
7% of the male population is red/green colourblind. That's one reason.
gadgetneo
Oh that's brilliant. I totally forgot about colorblind people. Good comment. Thanks.
bpwyndon
Now if you can show us the inside of all the cameras that catch me going through left red light, and I mean all of them. Break them, thanks
shitheadtookmyname
Red light cameras are illegal in Texas bc they're proven to actually cause more accidents than they prevent.
idontlikepickingusername
Here you go
Shovi
You run red lights and you think something else is the problem?
bpwyndon
Just the left turn red lights and it's usually because they turn red as I am going through them.
AncientSeraph
How do people not know you're supposed to stop at yellow? That's the rule. It exists to prevent your exact problem. You're an idiot.
Shovi
Some people just don't have time to follow the rules, they think they are beneath them, and find something else to blame every time.
Shovi
And will kill people with this kind of negligence.
Shovi
Are you British or something? I don't get this "left turn red lights" thing you keep bitching about.

lordofthetrolls
that is what she said
i11337
Traffic lights are differently sized for their application. Smaller for slower/rural, bigger for faster/highway/higher poles
TheJellyfishh
Came here to say that. They're designed to look roughly the same from our perspective as drivers so it feels counterintuitive
ThatOneGuyThatJustWantsFriends
Paige no
MtMuschmore
The actual lens looks the same sizeish to me.
Hakkenkrackhowl
It's no banana... But, using the screwdriver handle (around 4.5 inches) for scale, you can see that it is quite large.
LittleDickTheBugFusker
Judging from the size of those parts, it's not quite large. Those ICs are like 5 or 6 mm and the leds are 3mm.
sittingfarawayfromtheworld
That looks like a metric screwdriver (114.3mm).
fireeternal
Why, why would you use milimiters for this?!
EpicWittyName
That looks like screwdriver in the top right. Average handle of one is about 5 inches. That thing is probably ~12in diameter at least.
LittleDickTheBugFusker
What planet are you on? Look at those caps. Those leds are like 3mm. You posted stupid speculation.
WhoeverSmeltItDealtIt
Can confirm typical lense size is 300mm (12inch), older standard was 200mm (8inch)
WhoeverSmeltItDealtIt
At least in Ontario, but I think its a North American guideline
EpicWittyName
Yeah i don't work with them, just observing that the size in both pictures seems consistent
FuriousBakedPotato
Know what else is 5 inches?
EpicWittyName
Mr Humble over here, not everyone is so lucky
FuriousBakedPotato

orbitn
you just made me remember something from my youth. My elementary school had one of these mounted in the lunchroom b/c the administrators >
orbitn
hated both noise and children. If it turned red we had to be silent for 5 minutes..
TheS4ndm4n
We had a train crossing light and bell to signal the start of school.
norwegianhufflepuff
We have similar in our open office area. It's usually orange or red. Many of my coworkers have hearing issues and shout all the time.
rocket859
A friend had this at his school, the kids would just make it a game to get it to the red light and have the buzzer go off after a while...
WonderfunkJones
I think I remember something similar to that in my school's cafeteria. It....wasn't used very long.
KEbmeistergeneral
Did...did we go to the same school?
orbitn
unless you went to school in Nashville probably not
AnimeisCancer
We had the same! Tom Daniels baby
AdrianMole
Those administrators really suck at choosing a career.
AvocadoMakesMyTongueItchButIEatItAnyway
This is why I love my kid's school. They rarely tell the kids no talking at lunch because they know kids need a time to be social.
Giant2179
We had same. One teacher would always hush everyone when it got to yellow which would make it go red. She knew what was up
DaveTBull
Well i just had a solution for my kids!

PounderPuss
Same. It was never green
SamElliotsMoustache
Where is the eye that sees me coming so it always can turn yellow at just the right time?
AstronautChicken
That is a fantastic name. The episode of parks and rec where you weren't there was terrible.
RideTheStimutacs
Too close to stop without screeching your tires, too far to speed up without running the red light.
thylumberjack
...Uhh there is two of them above the green mouth.
DocTanner
Many lights are timed like that on purpose, to manage the flow of traffic to a specific rate.
KanzenChowa
Thats in the front
DocTanner
This photo _is_ the front. The circuitry is in between all the little lights.
glacialbae
IntergalacticNoodles
In your head.
cjandstuff
Every damn stop light on my way to work. But if I'm 15 minutes late, every one is green. Stupid timed lights.
UselessIgnacio
It's almost like yours are on a schedule. They not sensors?
Yellowdart49
I was told once that it's actually a sensor on the roadway
Markamanic
You can tell by the asphalt welds
YourNeighborhoodLesbian
There are a couple different version, pressure plate, sensor on light, just timing, ect
Conboss
Fuck those ones. Try riding up on a motorcycle to sit at the light 10 mins waiting for a car to roll up to change it
BlastFX
Sounds like an induction loop in the ground. Try sticking a big magnet at the bottom of your bike.
TheEvilClergyman
Lol I hate it
Royalflush908
Get a magnet from a speaker (the big on on the back) and stick that under your bike. Lights will never be a problem again.
cavemans
In my state they made it legal to go on red if it doesn't trip after so long on a motorcycle.
gamlingcs
This used to happen to me on the late night rides. Even on a goldwing, I'd just get off and do some jumping jacks and it'd usually get it.
theimgurappsucksballs
There's also sometimes things ontop of traffic lights that detect when an emergency vehicle is coming and change the light for them
laserbabz
Thats done by gps now, at least here in Denmark. With the old sensor on top you could blink your car lights real quick and it would go green
CincySanta
In the US it is entirely dependent on the owners of the signals. There are GPS, LED, radio and even audio based Preemption sensors.
theimgurappsucksballs
I think the ones in us/canada use infrared
