Taking your time when the light turns green makes sense when there's a bunch of jackasses speeding up to zip in before (and sometimes after) the light turns red.
Or at least paying attention and using caution, even though the light says you're clear to proceed.
- jimmaswell 3y agoYeah, someone I know just got hit by a red light runner the other day. It doesn't hurt to look.
- SoftTalker 3y agoIn fact you must look. A red light won't stop anyone from t-boning you if they aren't paying attention.
- dunham 3y agoThere is an intersection in Seattle (Latona and 50th Ave NE) where I've seen people run a red light from a dead stop, because there are two layers of lights on 50th and the furthest turns green when traffic from Latona is green. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xoUByEzUYExqe8Uc9 https://maps.app.goo.gl/xoUByEzUYExqe8Uc9 (Street view of the two sets of lights)
- williamcotton 3y agoI’m talking about being in a long line of cars who are waiting at a light and the person five back who takes 10 seconds to start moving. It is not because they are playing it safe!
