Yellow light duration (traffic light)

[Icis]

Hi to all forumers

Issue: . The interval of yellow light is like just one second or less (traffic light has no timer) (Green to red is unreasonable fast)

Safety issue: It gives no time for the driver to react correspondingly


Is there a proper way to appeal to increase the duration of yellow light in traffic lights
or a Philippine law or traffic advisory about this one to protect us drivers


In Paranaque there is a no contact apprehension in which a hefty sum of 3000 pesos fine for passing red lights however the specific traffic lights have no timer and yellow light is around 1 second.

In my opinion this is unreasonable and im looking ways on how to address it.

i agree.
i was victimized by one such.
"ser, red light violation po."
my front wheels had just crossed the yellow lane, when the light turned yellow. it was red when i reached the other side. had i braked, i would have stopped in the middle of the intersection.
"kasi naman bossing, lapad lapad ng highway ninyo, napaka-bilis magpalit ang orange light ninyo. alam mo naman yan, dahil marami kang nasisita, 'di ba?"
"kayo kasi. ayaw ninyong mag slow down..."
"pano ako mag slow down? highway ito. eh, 'di na-bangga ako sa likod. dapat ay kayo mag-adjust ng orange light timer ninyo. habaan ninyo."
pina-alis ako.

i made some calculations.
if i had to safely cross the width of the intersection, during the short yellow light interval, i'd have to be traveling at least 60 kph.

sana naman, lagyan nila ng countdown timer.

i did notice, a short few weeks afterward, the TEs had dis-appeared from that intersection.

The Paranaque City government is wily and sneaky in implementing this no-contact apprehension....

No public announcement whatsoever to warn/educate the motorists... Plus the way the traffic lights are, as you have described, in their intersections.... Pathetic.
