    M*W: I've read everyone's reply, but your's makes sense to me. The street lights go off everytime I drive under them, at least the one in front of my house does. I always thought it was me or my car that was giving off some kind of interference. Why would the lights have a sensor so as to turn off the lights. Isn't that counter-productive?

    Not if it's a light sensor. (obviously shielded from the light itself)
    That would mean that they turn off automatically in daylight.
    Which is what you would want.
    Maybe some cars/people relect enough light back from the lamp to trigger the sensor.
    You could watch a light to see whether its turning off depended on the colour of the car.

    yeah that happens to me al the time
    once i had this urge to drive sumwhere didnt know where till i got there
    i ended up at a blood caravan i sat for a while wondering why im here
    a car drove up took me picture then drove off that was even weirder than being there

    lights go flicker flicker then bang off they go
    and another time i needed to go again i wanted to go to the fuel station but i thought what do i want to do that for so i went to the shop next door to it
    then a blood van drove out of the servo station or fuel staion
    i dont go by these feelings any more cause i think they weird

    Chris is exactly correct. Photosensors are the most efficient way of turning them on and off.

    I have noticed that there has been several times when i walk under a street light it burns out or shuts off. i have changed the times and streets over the last two years to see if I was imaiging this. Does anyone know what this means.
    Thanks confused

    It means that street lights go out surprising frequently. As they age, streetlights will often go into a slow on-off cycle.

    Also, it is human nature to see patterns more often than is strictly necessary.

    Well, those are hypotheses about a phenomenon. I think we can all agree that you are speculating.
