I had an especially freaky commute on a suburban highway the other morning. (Suburban highway = city street turned into a de facto commuter-clogged highway. 45-mph speed limit changed by consensus to up to 60 mph.)
Every traffic signal I came to at full speed turned yellow on me. Seeing the yellow in time, I stopped at each one. But I watched at least 5 cars blast through red lights when they could have easily stopped in time on the yellow.
In a hurry, they are. I've never been a fan of red light cameras, but I understand the frustration that could drive government officials to have them installed.
