@SpaceLifeForm@infosec.exchange Did you watch any of the videos? The sophistication is way beyond what you're talking about, with most of the newer systems using cameras to sense vehicles in multiple zones to adjust accordingly (not the easy to screw up metal plates or induction loops -- both of which are nightmares for motorcycles). Some of these intersections are very complex with multiple pedestrian paths, dedicated left turn cycles, etc. -- not to mention MANY lanes and bypasses.

Not sure which video your are referring to. His top one is interesting in that while replacing the signal controller, there was an accident.
Though, it is much more complicated when there is a set of railroad tracks there too.
Reminds me that I almost got hit by a train long ago at night. I saw it at the last second. No horn. No signals. Today there are signals there.
