Hey, I've seen people go from a dead stop at a red light and just pull right on through several times lately. It's nuts.Around here, we have those walk/don't walk signs for pedestrians that count down to when their light is going to change. If you watch that as you're approaching a light, you can tell if you need to go ahead and slow down because the traffic light's about to turn red. I really like it.
