So, you're thinking you could be mid-intersection just .5 seconds after the light turns green??

You'd have to be crossing the limit line at the instant the light went to green, and going 30mph in order to do that, which is called "timing" the light, and is every bit as illegal as running the red.

Don't bother, a lot of those 98'ers just post and run, knowing they're unable to defend their positions.

You're splitting hairs. I've seen a lot of cars go through reds a lot later than that, in plenty of time for cross traffic to start. Besides, the intersections around here with the cameras are clearly marked with warnings that they are there. I'm all for everything possible to slow people down and make them go through intersections in a safer manner.

Tailgaters, careless cell phone talkers, lane darters, red-light cheaters, speeders, make up appliers, map readers, eaters - hell they all ought to be put in jail for a night. They are a threat to me and my family.

How can timing the lights be illegal?

Please site the statute(s).

You're picking nits.

Meanwhile...
I consider traffic lights to be optional. If they are red, I stop. If traffic is light or non-existant, there is no car in front of me and, most importantly, there are no cops around, I go.

Left turn red arrows don't even deserve stopping unless there is oncoming traffic, there is someone in the crosswalk or there is a cop around. I used to think I was a rebel in this but the last couple of years I've seen a LOT of people do it.

I guess it's catching on.
