APOPKA, Fla. - You may have seen videos before of traffic lights shaking wildly from the wind during storms.  The Florida Department of Transportation changed its regulations a while back to mandate sturdier masts to prevent that from happening, but they turn out to be a real hassle to replace these days. That's why people online have been asking about why the temporary light at State Road 414 East and Keene Road hasn't been replaced yet with a permanent one.  FOX 35 News reached out to the Central Florida Expressway Authority, as well as the planning departments with Orange County and the City of Apopka.
