When I visited Russia in the mid 1980’s I noticed that their traffic lights turned yellow twice... once before turning red, and again before going from red to green. Seemed very confusing.

I hate these cams, they are such BS.
There are two near my house and there is a certain distance from the intersection where, even if you are doing the exact speed limit, if that light changes to yellow, you cannot stop and you cannot get through the intersection.
You’d think it would be easy enough to make the green light flash a couple times before it changes to yellow to give drivers enough warning that it’s about to change, but then that would defeat the purpose of the camera altogether, wouldn’t it...

I've noticed many times at many intersections that the lights are red for both roads for a number of seconds before finally turning green for one side. Seems this is a much better idea for safety, if a city/county/etc. was really interested in safety and not ticket revenue.......

perhaps two short under state guidelines. There are no competent editors left in America.

We times it out and found the yellow is short perhaps two short under state guidelines. That should be TIMED and TOO.
Is this the Tiffany Network's quality level now?
