Cities Are Slowing Down Speeding Drivers With More Green Lights—and It’s Working
It’s called “rest in red,” and in cities where the approach has been pioneered, it’s both promoting better flow and moderating driver speeds, resulting in fewer accidents.
I could get behind this. The light to turn onto my street stays green long enough to let EXACTLY three cars through, if the first in line punches the gas the second it turns green. I’m definitely speeding if it looks like I can make it. Otherwise I’m sitting there for five minutes waiting to turn left, whether there’s traffic or not.
