[QUOTE="goodstuff, post: 331509, member: 547462"] it's pretty simple actually...it's basically just infrared led's flashing at a certain frequency, there are sensors mounted on the traffic lights...not all of the traffic lights everywhere have them so it doesnt work in every situation...anyways the sensors pick up the flashing and that's how the light knows to change. the other thing is that different lights use different frequencies so you have to adjust the box to flash at the frequency of the light you are at...it might sound complicated but the concept is simple... light flashes, gets picked up by sensor, light turns green...i have the plans which I bought off a website that escapes my memory at this point now I am in the process of gathering parts I wouldn't recommend anyone attempt this at least not without someone who knows how to read electrical schmatics or has a friend( like me) who knows about that type of stuff...also as you most likly read above there are ethical and saftey issues in building and using this device so just be careful what you do and how you do it and make sure you are safe and not causing problems for anyone....
