Paris Shows The Way!

2017, Basil Jet remarked: I'm amazed part-time lights at roundabouts are allowed. It seems obvious to me that every time a blown red bulb faces traffic already on the roundabout, you will have traffic joining the roundabout seeing a green light and thinking it has the priority, and the traffic on the roundabout seeing no light and thinking it has the priority. There will usually (always?) be two red lights. And in any event, green doesn't mean "full steam ahead", rather than "proceed with caution". -- Roland Perry |

Yes, with road traffic there is, unlike railway signalling, nothing ever that says it is absolutely safe to proceed. However, I suspect most drivers don't treat it that way. LEDs of course reduce the chance of this, and these days it should be reasonably easily possible to make all the red lights provable and in the absence of them all working turn them all off.
