Nothing is so important that you have to risk your life or someone else's life to go through a red light. Laurie - Mother of three, victim of red light running crash esidents in Spokane County, business owners, traffic engineers and law enforcement officers are all seeking solutions to this growing problem. Some believe the solution is longer yellow lights. But studies show drivers consider the yellow light an extension of the green light and, instead of slowing down or stopping, drivers proceed through the intersection on the yellow light.
More drivers push their luck to get through the longer yellow.
When you see a red light, stop. When you see the light turn yellow think about how you're going to stop because that's your chance right there. The solution to our problem is us - the drivers. Spokane area drivers often push their luck at intersections. It's a bad gamble.
