dont you just hate it when some cars dont respect "minor" traffic lights? tulad ng pedestrian traffic lights at village traffic light.
palabas ako ng village sa isang intersection with traffic light, turning left, sobrang ingat ko dito lagi dahil alam ko maraming nagbe-beat ng red light dito. pero kahit ang tagal ko nang tumingin sa kaliwa at kanan, muntik pa rin ako tamaan ng isang mablis na sasakyan na nag-beat ng red light.
yes ganun sya kabilis, ang tagal kong tinignan ang pinaggalingan nya (my right side, all i saw was an innova slowing down to a halt) and i didnt see him (pickup), nung alisin ko mata ko sa right side at ibaling sa lilikuan ko (left ) saka sya biglang sumulpot.
pero sa tingin ko nagulat din sya at natakot, dahil bigla sya bumagal after our almost-collision. parang naghihintay mahimasmasan sa nangyari. well, i just hope he learned his/her lesson on beating red lights.

Maraming ganyan lalo na kapag umaga... Lahat nagmamadali....
Pero, kahit na major intersections, marami pa ring tinitignan na recommendation ang traffic lights....

I don't know how true this is but there were studies before that its safer to put traffic lights in minor, low-traffic roads on yield mode (blinking yellow) late at night and early morning. Drivers slow down for this before crossing the intersection cautiously rather than running at continued speed when they see its green while yung naka-red naman na kala wala, will beat the red light since he thinks malayo pa and doesnt count the speed the other cars are running at.

It is true, because blinking lights will always have better chances of catching somebody's attention, than a steady red or green light....

"Deadma ko na 'tong stoplight kasi alam ko naman na walang huhuli sa akin dito."
"President ng homeowners si Daddy."
"Diretso mo lang Berto sa stoplight akong bahala. Late na ako."
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
