Cichlidae posted:I'll be devoting a full post to this sometime soon. Things like that are why I put the disclaimer in the OP. (Our red clearances are usually less than 3 seconds, though.) There's an intersection in my city that has an all-red phase which lasts 5 seconds, instead of the standard 3 seconds found everywhere else. This can be confusing if you don't know about it. I often see people expecting the standard 3 seconds, causing the whole line of cars in the front to lurch forward only to have to wait another 2 seconds for the lights to go green. If you are further back in the queue, it's even more apparent as you see all the cars letting go of their brakes at the same (wrong) time, just to inch forward a bit and stop again, often a metre or two into the crossing lane. This phenomenon has resulted in our DOT adding very long shades on the sides of many traffic lights, so that the cars in the side lanes cannot see when the light has turned yellow. Is this kind of thing common?
