What Those Flashing Lights Really Mean

MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - Have you ever seen a flashing light that was not the stoplight? And did you think it was a camera taking pictures of you to see if you're breaking the law?

This Opticon System is a new technology that was installed at intersections that has heavy traffic. This device allows emergency vehicles such as ambulances and firetrucks to safely change the traffic light so the perpendicular road has a red light and the vehicle can just pass through. Drivers that see this light should be cautious. Slow down and pull over if you can hear the trucks or see this light. Know that a emergency is going to pass by.
