I'd like to see a study of red light countdown timers. I have only seen them in China, but I think they are awesome. The timer tells you how long until the light turns green. If it is 30 seconds, you can check your text messages, or adjust the radio, but when it hits 3...2...1... everyone goes at the same time. I have never seen so many cars make it through an intersection in a single light cycle.
I have a feeling it is good for safety as well because drivers get some downtime, and a timer that lets them know when they need to be back at full attention.

- PeterisP 12y agoWell, this can be solved by well-known practices of red light cameras and revoking licences for repeated violations. I mean, what you describe isn't a problem with timers, it's a problem with some dicks that are dangerous to others (not only in this situation but others) and should be prevented from driving at all.
