BMW Drivers Will Soon Have Traffic Light Timers on Their Dashboards

Can I have it in a brand new M3 or M5!!!!

does it say when a light will go from red to green? I see a lot of people just rolling through the red knowing it will turn green before they get to the line. All while someone going across the intersection runs a yellow and then bam.

Florida already has large timers that count down when a light will be turning yellow or green. They also have indicator lights above each lane to let you (and the cops) know when that lane has gone red.

That said, anyone who tries to jump a green light in Florida is asking for death. There's a two second rule where Florida drivers consider a light to be still yellow for at least 2 seconds after the red.

Yeah, AZ has the countdown timers as well so its always pretty easy to tell when a light you're approaching is about to turn red. And as far as jumping green lights? Yeah NO. Thats an instant T-bone out here. Theres one light by my house that ALWAYS has at least 2-3 cars blatantly run the red light after it turns. People do not stop on red out here. At all.

Here in Chicago too.

Wait for the light to turn green, then wait for the two or three red light runners to go through, THEN it's safe to proceed.

Several intersections in the loop have a 2-3 second window where all directions are Red when changing.

I wonder how they'll do that. Different states seem to have different sequencing at intersections. When I was in Kansas it was completely different than Illinois. At a 4 way light with turn lanes one direction would get a green light and green turn arrow, then it would go red and the opposing direction would get a green and a turn arrow. Seems like everywhere in Illinois the opposing turning lanes get a green arrow, then once red the non turning opposing traffic get greens.

I've come across intersections like this and think that that's a brilliant idea to help cut down of collisions. Would be interesting to see that implemented more.
