Faulty Stoplight Causes Traffic Jam in Dallas

As if traffic wasn’t bad enough in Dallas, a stoplight quickly flashing between red and green made things much worse. 

I’m not sure what I would do in this situation. Hopefully, I’ll never be put in that position, because the truth is, I would probably be like most of the people and just sit there, confused at hell. 

Someone commenting on the video pointed out that in that situation, the intersection should become a 4-way stop. But it looks to me as if the other light is working because you see people in the opposite lane turning ahead.

So, if the people in the opposite lane are unaware the light is faulty, they wouldn’t know the intersection should be a 4-way stop. This could lead to a wreck and/or at the very least, road rage. 

The video is only 9 seconds long, so it’s not clear how long the cars were stuck at the stoplight. If it went on for too much longer, I expect to see a few road rage videos come out of the same intersection.
