On my way home from work this evening, I had a thought. As the light turned green, I rounded the corner and passed through the next light at the other side of the intersection. I approached the next light (at Legacy and Eldorado) and just out of my reach the light started to turn from green to yellow. Tonight there was an overcast and it was misting. On a typical night when it’s clear, I am running this same section of road at +5 to +7 over the speed limit, and the the same light begins to change when I am much closer making it very easy to get through.
What does this teach me? I need to drive faster — just slightly over the speed limit — to make the light. So, my thought: “Do stop light signals based on traffic pattern encourage people to run red lights?”
