TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON MAIN STREET BATAVIA MAKE ME SEE RED
Can anyone explain why the traffic lights on Main St., between the hours of 6pm and 6am. are not regulated by a trip light?
With the exception of Oak St. and the light in front of the Post Office at the confluence of Main St. and Ellicott St., red lights on Main St. should be activated by traffic coming off the side streets. There is no reason, for example, that the lights at the intersection of Main and Ross; Main and Vine; and Main and Harvester should change so fast as to not allow cars waiting on the side streets to enter Main St.
For example, you hit the red light at the corner of Harvester and Main with the intention of turning left onto Main St. That light stays red for at least four minutes. The light only stays green long enough for one or two cars to make the turn. If you are the fourth car in line then you wait another four mnutes for the light to change again.
Any answers?
