You know how fire trucks, ambulances, and cars all have flashing lights? Well, if you add up those lights, street by street, there is a single street on earth that has the most flashing lights.

This is incredibly unsurprising. More interesting to me would be to know which street that is.

It’s probably biased toward longer and wider streets, since they can fit more cars. Perhaps highway 401 🇨🇦 . Turn signals are probably the most numerous of the flashing lights, so highways where cars are changing lanes a lot would bump it up, e.g. if there are lots of protected lanes that begin and end at random. But overall, the biggest factors are almost certainly just length, number of lanes, and congestion.
