>From reading a Massachusetts Driver's Ed manual, I thought that a blinking
green was defined--it signified a light whose only purpose was as a 
pedestrian crossing light.  I guess this was before the "walk/don't walk"
lights were prevalent.  The crossing signal also had something to do
with both the red and yellow lights being on at the same time.  I've
even seen this behavior in Worcester as recent as a few years ago.  Being
from Connecticut, I was initially very puzzled by the flashing green
lights around Lincoln square.
