When the light turns green and traffic starts to trickle through, I think about basic training and how we learned to march in step. The main thing is that everyone starts at the same time. If you do that the distance between each object doesn't change. I've seen so much distance develop between vehicles that the sensor changes the light because there's too much time between cars.
Seems like more and more people are all but letting the car in front of them get completely through the intersection before they start to move. Drives me crazy!!
I surely want more space in front of (and behind) me when I'm driving even at city street speeds than when I'm stopped waiting for a light to change. A one-second following distance at 25 mph is about 36 feet, and even that's closer than one really ought to be following.
