Claim 0:
1. A vehicle comprising:
a traffic light indication system comprising:
at least one input device for generating a status input signal associated with a status of a traffic light, and the at least one input device for further generating an overriding input signal associated with a hazardous driving condition;
at least one notification device for providing a traffic light notification to a user; and
a computer comprising at least one processor electronically connected to the at least one input device and the at least one notification device, and the computer further comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium (CRM) storing instructions such that the at least one processor is programmed to:
receive the status input signal and the 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 the 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 at least one input device comprises a telematics module, and the overriding input signal comprises a Vehicle-To-Everything message (V2X message) associated with a Personal Safety message (PS message) transmitted from the 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.
