A control arrangement for a traffic light includes at least one video camera and at least one thermal imager, both detecting whether there is a motor vehicle in the lane of the roadway approaching the traffic light. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the at least one video camera and to the at least one thermal imager. The electronic processor receives a video signal from at least one video camera indicative of whether there is a motor vehicle in a lane of a roadway approaching the traffic light. The electronic processor also receives a thermal signal from at least one thermal imager indicative of whether there is a motor vehicle in a lane of a roadway approaching the traffic light. The electronic processor controls whether the traffic light is ON or OFF dependent upon both the video signal and the thermal signal.
