LED traffic lights: All the rage around NoVA for a few years now. Green are indeed painfully bright, especially if you're in the middle of totally dark nowhere (as I was one of the first few times I came across them--I flipped down my sun visor to block them at the time), and I've also noticed they are much brighter than the red, which doesn't make sense to me either. I'm sure they last much longer and are consistently brighter, but I don't know the cost-benefit analysis either.
