Default Flashing green

I just flew my Mooney up to Vancouver (this is somewhat aviation
related). When I got there I noticed that sometimes the traffic lights
were just green and other times they were flashing green. I asked many
locals what the difference was and none of them knew. Some thought it
was related to the crosswalks but I noted no cooreleation between an
intersection having a crosswalk or having someone pushing the walk
button and the flashing. Perhaps I'm just being a nerdy engineer but
I'm really curious if anyone in Canada knows what this means.

Sometimes it means the light is getting ready to turn red.

I thought that was what yellow was. They should provide a book on this
stuff before they rent you a car.

I never saw a road in Mexico, unless you count the area of the desert
that the cars have crushed the plants. Mexico is prime aviation
terriory. The roads are so bad that something that takes 3 hours to
fly to often takes a week or more to drive to.

If it was a flashing green arrow it just flashes to get your attention. If
it was a solid flashing green that is an advanced green meaning you can make
left turns and oposite trafic is still on a red light.

I am surprised none of the locals don't know what it means as that would be
one of the basic questions on a driving exam.

Flashing green means that the crossing traffic has a stop sign (or a
flashing red, which is the same) instead of a red light. You still have
right of way but you can expect cars coming out of the side streets
turning left or right.
At some intersections there are no lights at all for the crossing
traffic, just a stop sign. At others, most of the time the lights will
stay in this mode on the main street and would change to red only if
there's a real backup on the cross streets.

The average American driver could not figure that out. I was nearly hit
today by an 18-wheeler who ran a red light. I looked up at the driver and
he was laughing and jawjacking on his cellphone, operating the rig with one
hand.
