Default Radio Antenna on street lights

Yes I noticed this.
Maybe they can phone home to let them know the bulb blew?

We're getting some new street lights and have noticed they have little
antennas on the top.

What is it for? They look like they have a light detetector same as the

Where I lived in the States, they were so that a speeding Police
Cruiser or Fire Engine could signal them on approach to turn green in
its favour.


Er . . the OP was asking about street lights, not traffic lights.
