Ahh, load shedding. Such a way of life for South Africans that it becomes depressing thinking about it. But on the other hand it gives us plenty to talk about from a design standpoint. New topic, traffic lights. Obviously my first solution would be having a vehicle that can just go through an intersection without damage from oncoming or bypassing other vehicles. Who needs traffic lights or 4 way crossing rules when everyone else has to move out of your way. This is apparently unethical (t-boning a bus full of kids because you decided it was time to go - then carving that bus in half without more than a scratch on the paint, even though its impressive) so let's be good engineers and think about it properly.
