What does a blinking green light mean?
California Only used on newer ramp meters (see 11.11) , means that the meter is inactive. (See also below) Delaware Means that the crossroad has a flashing red, but that the signal goes into normal operation if a car triggers a sensor on the crossroad by waiting a given amount of time. Flashing green/red resumes soon after. (These have likely been removed from the state.) Massachusetts/New Hampshire/Rhode Island/British Columbia Same as DE’s, but only found at crosswalks, and triggered by a button pushed by pedestrians. May be located at a side road or crossroad with a stop sign so the cross traffic can take advantage of the red time on the main road. In MA, NH, and places in CA, this is also found at fire stations. Alberta/Manitoba/Ontario/Quebec/New Brunswick/Nova Scotia Means that traffic has the right-of-way over oncoming traffic (in other words, oncoming traffic has a red light).

Essentially the same as a green ball/arrow combination el
