Reply to comment by TVDinner360 in Got a ticket for running red light from Officer. But camera didnt go off?? by Aggressive-Yam5470

I have many years experience working in city planning and transportation planning. I know it's a thing. What I also know is that not every signal series is timed. And certainly the three stoplights in my town aren't. We don't even know which light the OP is talking about. You know you're being hyperbolic.

I’m not talking about coordinating signals, just strictly the timing of yellows & reds. If you’re really as knowledgeable about transportation planning as you say, then you would know those are standardized and take into account the posted speed limit. I really don’t understand why you’re so deadset on fighting this point, but by all means, keep shouting into the void.

Of the things Ive learned from asking this question is that people like to argue for the sake of arguing. Im sure each signal state machine is set as a function of the speed limit as input. then it just knows how long to stay yellow and when to switch to red. Most likely with a buffer to take into account various conditions.
