but as far as how the device works it basically is just a strobe light that pulses to a certain timing... I read an article a long time ago that suggested just setting up a video camera and doing a frame by frame count to figure out the timings... and then just build a $2 circuit (555 timer) with a $4 strobe...
#1... you will be noticed for using it, it will be a bright strobe flash shining forward...
#2... cities that have the light changers installed probably have cameras setup at some intersections (if not all major), so you will be recorded...

so just don't be shocked if this backfires... but otherwise, HAVE FUN!!

correct me if im wrong but would that work if u did it with IR like MIRT did?
"MIRT" (MOBILE INFRARED TRANSMITTER) would it work the same

EDIT LEGAL: "I wont do it I'd get caught"
