these lights are too cool!
physical science studies: wave interactions
cities around the country
have been using some
new traffic lights. these
lights last longer and use
less energy. so cities save
money. but the bulbs
dont burn hot enough to
melt snow. this can
cause problems for
drivers.
the traffic lights use led
bulbs. these bulbs use
much less energy than
those used in most traffic lights. thats good for the
environment. its also good for cities. since the bulbs use
less energy, they last for seven or more years. other bulbs
need to be changed every 12 to 18 months.
what else is good about led traffic lights? they dont

Explanation:

The text mentions that the LED traffic lights' bulbs don't burn hot enough to melt snow, which is a problem. Logically, the next step would be for cities to find solutions to this snow - related issue. Option A is unlikely as the text emphasizes the benefits of LED traffic lights (long - lasting, energy - saving), so drivers asking for stop signs instead is not a likely next step. Option C is extreme as there's no indication people will completely avoid streets with LED traffic lights. Option D is also extreme as taking down all traffic lights (which have other benefits) because of a snow issue is not a reasonable next step. Option B, finding new ways to keep snow off LED traffic lights, is a logical continuation to address the snow - related problem mentioned.

Answer:

B. Cities will find new ways to keep snow off LED traffic lights.
