Flashing green means cleared to taxi for aircraft on ground and return

for
landing for aircraft in flight. What kind of pilot's license did you

say
you have?


What does his pilots have to do with TRAFFIC lights?

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.
