Stopping at Traffic Lights

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero -
Originally posted by Freamon View PostSame. In fact, I usually watch the lights on the opposite phase to see when they go amber, and set off at that point. By the time I hit the line I'm doing 20mph and the lights for the phase I'm in are just turning amber, so I can cross the line legally.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

You MUST stop behind the white ‘Stop’ line across your side of the road unless the light is green. If the amber light appears you may go on only if you have already crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to stop might cause a collision.

You MUST NOT move forward over the white line when the red light is showing. Only go forward when the traffic lights are green if there is room for you to clear the junction safely or you are taking up a position to turn right. If the traffic lights are not working, treat the situation as you would an unmarked junction and proceed with great care.

I hope you realise that in the course of this debate, you've wasted the sum total of all the snippets of time you've saved with your precision traffic lights ballet.Comment
