There are other stop lights that will go from green to yellow to red in a matter of a second..

personally I ****** hate stoplights around here as there is no consistancy whatsoever. If they were a lot more consistant I'd be much happier.

we have a few in town where the green light is 2 seconds. then the yellow is another 2. its nuts! i have never seen such fast ligts!

as soon as it turns green you need to hurry through it. if you are 3rd in line you are going to run a red light.
