Am I right in saying that if you see a lit red light on the side of the traffic light control box there is a fault with them?

Unless you're a traffic light mainentance engineer, I'm not sure why you'd want to know.

No, that's the power light, that means it's working.

It certainly means the red light on the box is working.

Unless it's the secondary red light, which comes on when the other red light fails.

Even if it does, it doesn't give you a green light to just drive through a red light.

I'm not seeing the bit in (a) that says "Unless there's a red light on the box at the side of the road, when all bets are off."
