Why do traffic lights go into flashing mode so often. I lived in the Philly suburbs until Feb 2006 and I never call lights going into flash mode ever. What causes it here especially around and in Kingwood? Just curious. Also why isn't a cop assigned to a flashing light to keep up the traffic flow?

The general H_K_A area is on the end of a power grid. That causes frequent power outages, which causes traffic lights to malfunction.

But I have seen power on everywhere but lights flashing. It's strange. Plus, I would think they would reset themselves when power is back, but many times its houses.

gwizz00001 : Ever since we have lived here, Kingwood has always had issue with the traffic lights going out or malfunctioning. It doesn't take much.

you should not need law enforcement to navigate a flashing traffic light on a street within a small residential area. Usually, there is not staff to put an officer on a duty like this, as it will take away from other important calls.
