1. A method for configuring an electronically steerable beam of a traffic signal light, comprising:
- receiving at least one command to change a viewing angle of a traffic signal light;
translating the command to a power line command;
sending the power line command to the traffic signal light, wherein the power line command effects an electronic steerable beam of the traffic signal light; and
adjusting a viewing angle of at least a portion of the traffic signal light based on the power line command.
