I have that happening when I drive past them sometimes. Usually when I'm in a bad mood but a laser pointer can actually set them to turn off. I used to do this on Halloween with some friends. We shut the entire street down and some people called the cops because they thought something sinister was happening. What you do is aim for the top silver part and it acts like its light outside, so it turns them off. Real simple and easy trick

I've never had this happen.

A lot of street lights use light sensors to tell when they should go on. So headlights that aren't aligned properly and are aiming more upwards than they should be can mess with the sensors. Also, if the road is on hills and such. If you're walking then its probably just someone elses car doing it.

It happened to me a lot before I had my headlights realigned.

The lights cycle on and off when they're about to burn out. It's just coincidence that you're walking or driving by them.

Heh, this happens quite a bit too for me. More when I drive than when I walk though.
