Re: Good news for people driving to Houston
Make that three, I actually come to a complete stop and look both ways before moving. Maybe it's an age thing, it seems the older I get, the more careful I am.

Re: Good news for people driving to Houston
Here is an idea that I heard from someone else. Make the delay longer, in other words, lights from all directions remain red for a few more seconds. There will always be some that still run the red, but if the other side ain't moving yet, less likelyhood of a major accident. This is the way they had them set up in Germany when I was there, but they also have cameras everywhere. In the Philippines, at night, it is normal to go on red if it is clear on all sides. Don't know if it's legal, but everyone does it.

Re: Good news for people driving to Houston
I am not an advocate of red light cameras, but I hate when people blast through a red light like it wasn't even there. Knock on wood that I have never been involved in an accident, but I have been in many close calls by these morons.
