Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, ''I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'' It's called perseverance.

Traffic Light Changer iPhone App!

April 17th, 2010 View Comments

The newly released Traffic Light Changer App developed by Pat Flynn and Quoc Bui from LOLer Apps, allows you to turn traffic lights from red to green [while stopped at the light] using your iPhone or iPod Touch - in turn giving you complete control of intersections.

Here's how it works:

The application transmits a signal that triggers a preemptive sensor on the traffic light. Often referred to as a MIRT (Mobile Infrared Transmitter) it is usually used by emergency (such as ambulances) and police vehicles only. In order for it to work, simply turn on the application and point your device at the traffic light box which is generally found on top of the traffic light. Once your aim is set, all you need to do is press "Transmit Signal", and the road is all yours!

IS THIS FOR REAL? Of course not!!! Do you seriously think Apple or any federal authority would approve an application that would cause complete and utter mayhem in the streets? Seriously folks! There is no transmitting of any signals whatsoever and if the light does turn green while you're pointing at it, then it's purely coincidental!

However, if timed correctly, you could actually make it look like it was you who changed the lights and fool your family and friends :) ! A bit childish - I know - but it could be fun the first few times.

To see a preview and download this fun app for free, visit the iTunes App Store.

    Hi Lau­reen,
    For­give the late reply but for some rea­son my ini­tial reply to your com­ment when it was posted has dis­ap­peared along with a few oth­ers. Indeed I had trou­ble believ­ing it myself, but as you said it could be enter­tain­ing to trick friends :) . Can’t imag­ine the state of the streets if it really did exist. Scarrrrry!!!

    Cheers

    Hey Norm,
    For some rea­son my reply to you a cou­ple weeks ago has van­ished. I apol­o­gize in case you didn’t see it. I wanted to thank you for your com­ment and for your good advice :) .

    Cheers

    There are devices that can do this, because most vehi­cle pre­emp­tion devices work on a spe­cific pat­tern of flash­ing lights (like a strobe light). Not a good idea to try and get one though, because they recently passed a Fed­eral law mak­ing it ille­gal for any non-government or non-emergency peo­ple to use these…

    And I didn’d believe it from the first words. That just could’t be real) Though I think it can be pretty funny some­times to use this app as a joke or a trick for friends.

      Hi,
      Yeah it would be hard to believe indeed! Just think of all the chaos on the streets if some­thing like that was avail­able to the public!
