What would you expect them to do? Go straight from red to green?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 12 points 11 months ago

That's what normally happens

[–] geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes. That's what happens in most countries

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So they just go straight to green without any warning?

[–] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

More or less. If you're paying attention to what's going on around you you'll notice other traffic stop before your light turns green. There's also typically a second or two where all lights are red before one turns green to make sure the intersection is clear.

Why would you need a warning? It's not a race. In fact, that's probably part of the reasoning of not having a yellow before changing to green

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

So you can get in gear, do observations and be ready to move when the light turns green.

That's what traffic lights do here in Spain. I don't actually know if Red-yellow-green has any advantage

That's the part where you spin your tires to burn
