My route home when I lived in H. Glad to be out of the traffic!!!!
I've seen some traffic lights that "get stuck" sometimes and never turn green for example (A) one side is STUCK green for 10+ minutes or (B) a left turn lane only gets a signal every 3 cycles.
At what point do you get to determine that a light is broken and roll on through (when the road is clear)?
Will we be facing tickets and court appearances over this (even if the movement is justifiable)?
If an officer had to be present to write the ticket, no such court appearance would be necessary for broken traffic lights.
As someone else has noted, Metro bus drivers ROUTINELY run red lights (and it is not uncommon to see them start up from a dead stop to do so after waiting at a bus stop). Will they be cited for their violations or granted an exemption?
