You mean that a statistic has a value that’s highest? Yes.
Do lights on buildings count, too? If so, Fremont Street in Vegas is a strong contender.
The Strip has a bunch of traffic + lots of building lights. I would be curious which outnumbers the other
It depends on what you count as a light. If you count every LED in the screen over Fremont Street, then it undoubtedly wins.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to have multiple categories. One of them definitely should be “Buildings count too”!
A strong contender!
I can confirm that my car does not, in fact, have strobe lights. There are very few vehicles that do.
Oops. Thanks for pointing this out! Strobe lights are a specific kind of flashing light, and flashing lights are what I meant.
My point still remains. Most vehicles don’t have flashing lights either.
Well ackshually… LED headlights are technically flashing lights, they just flash rapidly enough to appear static.
You don’t have hazard lights? You should check: you probably do, and you want to know where they are so you don’t spend a half hour searching for them when you need them.
I feel like this comment is a little obtuse. They are pretty clearly referring to the average car driving down the road. People don’t tend to drive with their hazards on unless there is…a hazard.
People do stop in the street and put in their hazards for various reasons, though. Legally or illegally, people stop in the street in front of businesses where there’s no parking and run in to get something; cars fail, or get flats. Especially with fender benders; even if there’s a shoulder, people justifiably put on their hazards. It may be less frequent than an emergency vehicle being in any given street at any given time, but in (US) metropolitan area it’s not uncommon.
I’m not saying it never happens, I’m saying you misinterpreted what the original commenter was clearly referencing—how the average car appears on the road.
I don’t think so. In one comment someone asked whether they should include signage, b/c Las Vegas would definitely win, and OP answered that it would be interesting to see categories.
OPs original thought was that, at any given point in time, in the world there exists a street with the most flashing lights. All the examples they gave were cars, and that must include hazards. There isn’t a street in the US that always has an ambulance in it. There may be one where it’s more frequent, as in front of a hospital, but it’s not always. And hazards are maybe less frequent than active ambulance lights, but they’re not rare.
Hazards aren’t a defect; they’re not a short circuit in someone’s headlights. They’re not someone pumping their brakes - just like a police light, you turn them on and the lights blink until you turn them off.
How could you include sporadic, flashing ambulance lights but not hazards? I don’t understand the thought process.
My check engine light has been flashing for weeks
That’s good, though. It’s when it turns off that you got to worry.
Turn signal?
Damn. You got me.
I hate this but I also love it
