nah it's not a real traffic light "cluster" (thought it might be nice to use that term).
It's set up so that within about a second you gauge that it has no functional status. The lights flash on and off like a christmas tree. I think legally and for safety reasons the people behind it would have had to prove that the lights wouldn't cause crashes.
It probably still confuses loads of people for five or ten seconds though, which might be the point. If you're an Isle of Dogs local you don't want outsiders to feel comfortable..
