Flashing green

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.


Everybody in the world uses flashing yellow for this. Are you saying BC
still uses green???

The whole world doesn't seem to include Sweden; here a flashing yellow
warns that some of the streetlights in the crossing are inoperable.
(then rules for unguarded crossings apply)

btw. "IFR" I've also heard explained as "I Follow the Road", but I've
seldom flown so low I needed to worry about the streetlights.
