That question makes no sense. The way trip plates work at the "hold line" for traffic lights, at a busy intersection, is this. The lights on the busy, main, road stay green. On the cross road lights there is a plate that turns the main road lights red and the crossing road lights green, after a car has activated the plate, and after a certain amount of time. This stops the traffic on the main road being held by traffic lights that automatically change every couple of minutes, even though there is no traffic on the cross road. I don't know what you're going on about, lights are either red, yellow or green. Oh, and, duh. ????
