When the technology becomes available for use at the A14 southbound on-slip-road at the A1/A14/A141 roundabout at between 16:10 and 16:20 on a Friday evening, there will be much rejoicing.

I've noticed the drivers who are not paying attention, don't get angry. It's the ones who have been paying attention that get angry, because they know how long the light has been green.

Why not just distract drivers from their smart phones? Is there an app for that? Maybe a severe shock when the light changes?

I learned early, red draws too much attention when I'm "straining the limits of machine and man".
