Recently I was involved in an accident. Basically I caused it, by crossing on red. However I was under the impression that once the light for traffic turned red, there was a 3-4 second delay before the pedestrian light went green. This is not the case.
It seems that the pedestrian light goes green within half a second of the road traffic light turning red.
I would have thought that the delay would vary according to the location??
Since I'm unable to ride at the moment, I have been checking every set of lights.
Is it the case that the newest type LED lights all have this zero tolerance delay?
Of course I saw the orange and tried to brake but these lights are at the bottom of a hill. Not much of an excuse I know, Ossifer.
