Claim 13:
14. A computer for a traffic light indication system of a vehicle, the computer comprising:
at least one processor electronically connected to at least one input device of the traffic light indication system, with the at least one input device generating a status input signal associated with a status of a traffic light and an overriding input signal associated with a hazardous driving condition, the at least one processor being further electronically connected to at least one notification device of the traffic light indication system, with the at least one notification device providing a traffic light notification to a user; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium (CRM) storing instructions such that the at least one processor is programmed to:
receive a status input signal and an overriding input signal from the at least one input device;
generate an actuation signal based on the status input signal;
determine a predicted collision with the vehicle based on the status input signal and the overriding input signal; and
refrain from generating the actuation signal in response to the at least one processor determining the predicted collision with the vehicle; and

where at least one notification device provides a traffic light notification to the user, in response to the at least one notification device receiving the actuation signal from the at least one processor, and
wherein the overriding input signal comprises a Vehicle-To-Everything message (V2X message) associated with a Personal Safety message (PS message) transmitted from a telematics module to the at least one processor, with the PS message being associated with at least one of:
a location of a crosswalk;
a location of a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) relative to the crosswalk;
a speed of the VRU;
a heading of the VRU; and
a pedestrian signal light status.
