The responsibility for traffic lights is with the secretary de movildad in Jalisco.

If you would like to comment that you would like to see the traffic lights fixed in Ajijic,  you can write this comment on the facebook page of the government entity responsible - Secretary de Movilidad

This is their facebook page is
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Secretar%C3%ADa-de-Movilidad-Jalisco/105658496290292

It is easy - and who knows, someone may actually read it!!!

por favor arreglar el alumbrado público en Ajijic

or

please fix the street lights in Ajijic

(and if someone has a better translation, please speak up!!)

I think you want "semáforos" for traffic lights, and probably "Favor de arreglar..." or a different structure for the request.

I think alumbrado público are the street lights.
Semáforos are the traffic lights.

Just saw your post rosavenus...you are correct.

You treat blinking red lights and no lights as stop signs. Not confusing at all.

DaveP,

Unlike NOB, flashing red lights and flashing yellow lights in Mexico
are used to caution drivers, but do not require traffic to stop.

Like I said, treat them like stop signs. Who actually stops for "Alto" signs

Don't just sit there and say "WTF do I do Now?"

Read and understand!

Taken from the Jalisco driving examination


IF YOU DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE COMES TO A CROSS AND LIGHT IS FLASHING RED LIGHT WHAT TO DO:
(a) Accelerate and quickly cross the street.
(b) Make a complete stop and continue the movement after ensuring that no approaching other vehicles cross the artery.
(c) Slow down before entering the intersection and continue with the necessary precautions.

Definition answer is B


(B) Make a complete stop and continue the movement after ensuring that no other vehicles approaching transverse artery. If you arrive at an intersection and the light is flashing red, what should you do? (b) Make a full stop, and then continue after ascertaining That Other vehicles are not approaching on the cross street.

Gringo written advice does not always apply to the rules all over Mexico. You are advised to check the actual law and abide by that

Like I said originally. Treat them as a stop sign.
