Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for traffic flow control. In an aspect, an on-board computer (OBC) of a vehicle of a secondary traffic flow determines that a primary traffic flow is passing through an intersection associated with a traffic light, wherein the determination that the primary traffic flow is passing through the intersection is based on sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, or any combination thereof, and reduces a speed of the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from tripping a traffic light sensor associated with the traffic light until after the primary traffic flow has passed through the intersection.

A second active circuit is spaced apart from the first active circuit. The second active circuit includes a circuit mimic fill area present in at least one of the areas surrounding the second active circuit.
