There's a city not too far from me that I fear at stoplights. The most common problem?? Semi drivers!!! They see the yellow, or even red lights, lay on the horn, downshift to pick up speed and fly (well over the speed limit) right on through!! Now if I hear a semi horn I just sit at my green light and wait, it will be sailing through in front of me in a moment. I guess I should be thankful that they at least lay on the horn as a warning, not all red light runners will do even that.

If they could just have some type of solid barrier pop out of the street when the light turns red.....ahhh picture it: some moron flying through thinking he's gonna sneak through the light, up pops a solid wall, and whamo, he's a pancake with wheels!!

ad nauseum.

Speeding on a highway is a relatively innocuous act. Tailgating, impeding the flow of traffic, and driving while distracted are far more dangerous than someone going 80 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.
Agreed!!
