Exploring The Running A Red Light

Close to call so you run through the light as it changes an before you get seconds down the road more red lights are behind you, except these lights are in your rear view mirror. Its the police and they are pulling you over for running a red light. Not the way you wanted it to go.

The red in a traffic light is very visible to all drivers. A few of the are blurred by the sun and for a moment a driver can be blinded by the sun when entering a intersection. Seeing the intersection from a distance will give you an idea if the lights are changing when you can’t see it clearly up close.

When designing the lights the designer takes into consideration factors that affect it from the environment. To help block the effects of the sun shinning on the light the backdrop is coated in black to allow the light to be seen in bright sunlight. To make things uniform the lights are also assembled in the same order.

The colors of the lights are the same on all standard models. A good reason for this is to see the light in the same place all the time for those that are color blind and drive an also for those that can’t tell the light color by the sun.

There are places where a special light is needed that are not the same as those on intersections. These lights will need to be special ordered lights. The normal colors in a light are red, yellow and green. Other colors used to be available for purchase and they were used in local street has all but gone for the sake of conforming standard.

It would be a good idea to remember to watch for the changes when approaching any light since they change so frequently. The time you sit at a light seems to be a long time to most people but in reality the time you sit at a light is usually only from 1 minute to 1.5 minutes.

One type of judgment call when driving a car into an intersection is as the light is changing do you stop or continue driving right through the intersection. I could be that the light was green then it turned yellow as you entered the intersection. When you find yourself in a situation, were the light turned yellow then red an you are in middle, what do you do? The light is red after you entered the midway point then continue through if it is still safe, do not back up. If you are approaching a light at any time remember that the light is on a timer and it will soon change.

Most of us have experienced seeing drivers speed up right as the lights are turning and run through the yellow light only to be running the red light by the time they enter the intersection. If a police officer sees them they will decide then if the driver ran the red or ran through the yellow. Mounted on more and more lights in intersections are the cameras that monitor the intersection for drivers running a red light. So be careful what you see the cameras are watching.
