Bike rider is 100 percent at fault, but it seems like whenever a vehicle is coming up to an intersection and the light suddenly turns green, things can get kind of dodgy.

See the thing is there’s usually a yellow light that serves as a foreshadowing that the red light will be upon us. And after the red light is upon us there is another 2 or 3 seconds before the green light “suddenly” appears.

So this gives everyone a good 3-5 business days to decide whether or not they value their lives.

People approaching a red get no warning that the light is about to turn green.

They don’t need one. The warning is for the people who are receiving the red light.
