Hope I'm being a pessimist!
That is why the lights will just be flashing for a while. Till people start remembering it is there. I once decanted the contents of the backseat of my car into the front when they put a new stop sign on my route to the tennis club in Grand Rapids, MI. You are right... I was on auto pilot.
