	So you can scoot off immediately it goes red+amber, perhaps, instead of waiting for green? Wow! You could deliver more pizzas!

	OK. It's a time-driven sequence. If you've got nothing better to do than watch traffic lights change, get down to your local one with a bottle of something alcoholic to keep the cold out and a stopwatch, and see what you can make of it all. Santa Pod Raceway might be interested in your findings. __________________ Essex jobs for Essex yobs! <Burp>.

	Programming a traffic light sequence was one of the first tasks in the UK training programme for the Allen Bradley 2/30 PLC back in 1983. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	And it was the first thing this mech eng did in her night school "Basic electronics for Clankies" course that her sponsoring company sent her on. It's in machine code, if you want it... __________________ Chaos always wins because it's better organised.

	I remember doing that in school with a PIC. Don't remember the number though. __________________ “There's a sucker born every minute, and I happen to be one of them”

	I think our friend here is asking how he can change the traffic signal himself, while sitting in his car at a red light. I know there are systems in place here in the U.S. that allow this to be done, for the purpose of emergency vehicle traffic. The last civilian who figured out how to do this is resting quietly, in jail. I hope you don't live in my home town .

	in my hometown there are no jails actually i am looking out for how to interface the remote controller to the TLC so that a traffic warden could use the remote ctrl to fett traffic by his intervention in the automatic sequence
