About Traffic Lights: Do they all have secret hidden cameras?
There are some big questions asked in this episode. Do traffic lights actually turn green if you flash at them? Are they all secretly harbouring hidden cameras? And is there one giant control room that turns all the lights red? Today we're joined by Sam, who is a traffic light engineer, and is here to confirm or deny all the myths about them. We all experience traffic lights on a day to day basis... but how often are we actually sat on red? You're about to find out. ☀️Come and see us at Pub in the Park on 18th May (Marlow) or 1st June (London)!
