Lights should switch to blink mode during low demand

We've all done it; sat at a red light with no other cars to be seen.

All modern lights have traffic sensors and are computer controlled. It
would be a trivial programming task to sense general traffic density (x cars
/ hr) and have the light transition to flash mode (flash amber on primary
route, red on the secondary(s) during low demand) - thereby saving time,
aggravation and fuel.

Such traffic lights will probably continue to grow smaller in number. The
moron majority can't deal with it.
