   The lights around here are on such short cycles that even if
you see it turn green, it may be red again by the time you get
there. Unfortunately, this encourages more people to try to sneak
through on the yellow, since they feel they didn't get a "fair
shot" at it. It would be nice if you could count on a light to
*stay* green for a reasonable length of time.

  Anyone care to guess why the lights would be set up this way?
