But the red time assumes that you are going at the speed limit. If you can only cross Woodhaven at 20 mph after having entered the intersection, the opposing light will turn green before you get all the way to the other side. Cars on the main street have to wait for the traffic to get out of the intersection before proceeding, cutting down on their green time. If the ambers were longer, fewer cars would enter the intersection because they would be able to stop and fewer woud get stuck on the red in the middle.Reducing all types of accidents will also reduce pedestrian fatalities, so my comment was relevant. There is less of a likelihood of hitting a pedestrian while changing lanes hurriedly if someone were not required to change lanes at the last minute because of inadequate notice. |
