The Microwave sources on the tops of the lights, and now little boxes with

Does it trigger it immediately, or just on the next change? The
European variety seem to trigger it immediately (i.e. as a bus
approaches all others go straight to red), which gives a nice feeling
to the bus passengers of real priority.
