why would you put it on the green? even when the green changes to yellow you can still go through. this is pointless

I stay looking at the opposing traffic light to hit yellow.

The point is to give drivers even more advanced notice than the measely 3 seconds a yellow does...just like the cross walks that count down.Originally Posted by f3DJam

That's exactly the point... with the green rings a driver would BETTER be able to know -- at his rate of speed and the distance to the light-- if he would be able to make it through the intersection.Originally Posted by KayCurrency

that was my point...if you see green, it means GO...Noone is anticipating the yellow light....

it's on average 3 seconds -- it varies depending on the speed limit of the road.Originally Posted by f3DJam

exactly, its 3 seconds...if you see it change you can make it. if its stale, you should anticipate that your gonna have to stop. or just gun it

The yellow is already the default warning...it doesn't need a countdown on it....but by putting it on the green would give drivers MORE notice of how much time is left...thus giving BETTER advanced notice on their decision to stop or go through.....I don't see how you don't comprehend this.
You can just look at the walk/don't walk signs on the side to determine when the light will turn yellow.Originally Posted by Dirtylicious
...I can multitask when I drive... noticing a green ring around a light while still paying attention to the road and other drivers is easy in my book.
and really... there's no financial or safety incentive to make this for red lights...just to let people know how long they'll be waiting?
putting it on the green would make more sense since in theory...it adds to safety by warning drivers of how long before the light changes.
ps. The usefulness of lights like this would probably make sense only at limited speeds -- 35-45 MPH residential roads.
