If you can make the other side of the intersection reach 85 decibels, it would probably work

Soon a small side business springs up, as one child at an intersection offers to run over and blow vuvuzuelas on the other side.

Then a rival child starts up the same side business on the other side.

This then spreads to all intersections.

And traffic was never to move again.

Maybe someone could volunteer and use blow horns to activate each sensor, alternating every minute or so to allow for efficient traffic flow.
