Specifically i really like the looks of this one, which i saw on several other sites (ebay, etsy... heh, glad the designers url is silkscreen on the pcb) with diagrams of the timing sequences it can run.

How likely do you think RC guys at a worksite or meet are actually going to be obeying your traffic controls VS the lights across road being more of a trip hazard?

I think you're just looking to give your rc Police car something to do...

We gotta have something for the PNW police car to enforce!

I wasn't planning an overhead style light. I was hoping for a moblie traffic lamp, like the ones we employ at road construction sites that are long term. Like when the highway had a slide that took out part of it. They set up these mobile traffic lights to alternate the traffic flows through the area, rather then employ 24/7 flagger.

I was thinking of taking the Goodson's Hobbies reader board trailer, & mounting a light atop it. The to would need to communicate together, OR be timed in such a manner that there would never be green when traffic didn't allow it. I've seen the one offered from Merbold Electronics, but refuse to pay their 400.00 pricetag for one!
