What Are The Blue Lights On Some Florida Traffic Signals Used For? 🤔😵

Some traffic lights have blue lights on top as confirmation lights, which are synchronized with the red light to help law enforcement officers see when a red light is being run from a distance or different angle. These lights are not for drivers, but for police to monitor traffic violations and enforce red light laws, allowing for safer and more efficient traffic management.

Everyone knows that a blue light means that there is a special at your local K-Mart. What's wrong with you folks. 🤔

You’re all wrong they indicated that the light is Red at that signal location. And go off when it turns green maybe if you people would not look at your phone while stoped at a light and pay attention to what’s happening around you

It's Florida. Nobody knows what the hell they are for!

These blue lights turn blue when the traffic lights turn red. From a distance, it give emergency vehicles using advanced EVP systems using infrared signals to the emergency vehicles to sometimes approximate when to turn the light green, but also when the light will change, though limited to, especially when there's heavy traffic, as to not create traffic accidents, but it's to aid in response times. It's also used by law enforcement to determine if someone runs a red light, not just video cameras alone, but especially at night where the light is more visible and is seen from a distance perspective, to determine the particular vehicle crossing a red light.

they are camera's they will take a picture of your license plate if you run thru a red light

They are there to aid law enforcement in detecting red light runners.

Per google: stop? 2. Officer Visibility: From a distance, officers can see the blue light, indicating that a vehicle has entered the intersection while the signal was red. 3. Enforcement: This allows officers to effectively and safely enforce red light violations, even if they are observing the intersection from a distance.Jan 20, 2025

We need the lights to turn to flashing yellow lights when they sense no others driving in the intersection instead of having us wait 2 min for the light to turn green.
