The lights have been blinking yellow for a decade or two. I could look out my window and yell it is not a stop for the people stopping for it. Today they made the light actually function and added cameras.
Picture taken out my window.
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

The truly sad part is you had to yell at people how to use a blinking yellow light. Isn't that taught in driving school and on the written test?
I think ALRP mass data collection of your persons by a private corporation is vastly more sad.
But as other responded these do not seem to be ALRP or Flock cameras
Yeah that's sad too.
I'm colourblind and can't tell a blinking yellow light apart from a blinking red light, so I woukd treat it as a red. This is only for those single light intersections. If there's three lights but set to blink (sometimes this happens in the middle of the night) I can look at the position once I'm close enough.
How do you handle normal traffic lights then?
Yellow and red mean almost the same thing, so it doesn't really matter. And with normal lights, yellow is always the middle, and red is very easy to tell apart from green. I would actually say green is closer to white and is the easiest to distinguish from the others.
It's the middle light
