Emergency flashing light mechanism
First Claim
1. A traffic light mechanism for a traffic complex, wherein the traffic complex includes components, wherein the components include vehicles, pedestrians and control light mechanism, wherein said control light mechanism comprises red, yellow, and green lights, wherein the traffic light mechanism comprises:
- a) an emergency flashing light processor;
b) an emergency flashing light transmitter in communication with at least one component of the traffic complex;
c) an emergency flashing light receiver in communication with at least one component of the traffic complex; and
d) an emergency flashing light operating in response to information received from at least one component of the traffic complex and wherein the emergency flashing light mechanism can override an operation of at least one component of the traffic complex.

Abstract
An emergency flashing light mechanism includes one or more emergency flashing lights, a processor, a transmitter, and a receiver. The emergency light flashing mechanisms can exchange information with the vehicles, pedestrians and other components of a traffic complex via their respective transmitters and receivers. The emergency flashing light mechanisms can process such information and override control lights having red, yellow and green lights. The emergency flashing lights can selectively respond to emergency vehicles.
