This allows the traffic to clear and any red-light runner will make it through the intersection before the green light comes on. It took them 3 months to implement it and we are happy to report that no accidents at this intersection has taken place since they instituted the change. Last year, Broward County slowly started to change other intersections in our city to allow for the same delay timings. However, they have not completed their work, and have not allowed for enough delay at some of the major intersections. Take Atlantic and University for example.
People rush through that intersection and only a half second delay is in place.
The most dangerous intersection in town is Riverside and Sample. Stand at the corner and count the brief delay that occurs at this corner. What we need is at least a 5 second delay at every major intersection in town. Only then will fatalities be reduced dramatically and our streets made safer. Let him know that you would like the Traffic Lights in Coral Springs adjusted so that there is a delay of 5 seconds before the green light comes on.
