This is gonna sound weird, but hear me out. I've studied and drew maps for 20 years as a hobby, and amongst that, I studied up on stop lights and weather. Now in my many years of studying stop lights, I came across one recently that made me go O_o.

The location is in North Kansas City, along Burlington Road (the main strip). I can not recall the cross street, but I do know it's located south of Armour/210 & Burlington and that it's at a 4-way intersection. The stop light is located as a right turn stop light, but it's design was what caught me off guard. It's what I called a 6-stacked stop light. Basically it's got: Red, Yellow, Green, Yellow Right Arrow , Green Right Arrow. Here's the catch, there's an additional stoplight ontop of the Red Light. If anyone who knows the area, does anyone know what that additional light is for?

I believe that's the bus light

Yeah, I was told it was a bus light. Apparently when that light is on (it's white), all traffic will stop so that the bus can get through. Rather nifty to be honest.

Oh and it's at the second set of stop lights coming in from the south.

Starfighters, I heard they had a similar thing that was a signal for "No right turn" or "No left turn" on intersections close to railroad crossings. They have those here in Merriam and Overland Park that say "No Right Turn" when a train is going by.

Lived here in Independence all my life, and probably will for the rest of it. I can be pretty opinionated when I want to be obviously :P
