There are lights near me horribly timed.

Us locals will come to full stops on the reds, then proceed. Or, if going straight, will make legal R turn, U-turn, then R again...to bypass the signal that didn't recognize the vehicles.

2 problems:

  • no consideration for low traffic periods
  • malfunctioning traffic sensors that either don't sense vehicle or cycle like there are cars at all 4 traffic directions... when I'm the only car on the road at 1am.

I've always thought most lights should turn to flashing red in those super late hours. Like between 1am and 4am maybe, or 11pm-4am in even lower density areas

Agreed.

I did contact mDot about 1 I intersection and they improved it. But it still doesnt always trigger. So, I treat it like a 4 way.

Yeah, I know im breaking the law, but FFS. There IS NOT A SINGLE CAR IN SIGHT.
