Got Caught By a Red Light Camera?

95% of advance signal ahead flashers are a waste of money and more importantly, they undermine thier value in the 5% of locations where they are of benefit.

I really appreciate them and pay attention when they tell me I'm not going to make the green. A car would have to accelerate at a blinding rate to make the green when the flashing starts. It's those stupid always-flashing ones that I think are worthless. All they do is tell you there's a signal ahead. Whoop de doo.

Thank you for responding.

I agree. Even in my car I'd like indication I wouldn't make the green. We have 50-60 MPH speed limits and I don't like burning off all that speed to stop for one of the many signals. If there was some indication I would have to stop anyway, I could lift off the gas earlier. Sure there are some clues (cross traffic tripping sensor, pedestrian, don't walk flashing, etc. on an 'old" green light, but more the better for me.
