Comment Re:Red light delay. (Score 1) 348
Years ago I was sitting at light. The light turns green and the driver in front of me starts going oblivious to the car that's sailing down the road and clearly not intending on stopping for the red. So this guy slams right into the guy in front of me.
In Taiwan the lights count down to when they turn green, so as it gets to 3,2,1 you look both ways and can see if anyone is going to run the opposing red light. Apparently this reduced the sort of accident you saw by 30% vs putting in red light cameras that increased rear-end accidents by 20%. So they don't have red light cameras. They do have big yellow and black painted speed cameras, that are sign posted so people can clearly see where they are, but these are just in areas where they really do need people to stick to the speed limit.
