This is hardly Pit-worthy, but I'd like to see a yellow stripe on the road near every traffic signal. It should be painted at a distance away from the light, the distance to be based on the speed limit of the road and timed to the duration of the yellow transition light.

Basically, the yellow line says "if you're past this line when the light turns yellow, and you're doing the speed limit, you'll make it through the light. If you're not, you won't."

Here in Utah, if you pass the limit line before the light is red, you own the intersection until you're clear. There is no law against stacking up in an intersection, or racing to beat the yellow. When you start driving here you learn real quicklike not to bother timing the greens - you'll be coming to a stop anyway to yield the intersection to the jackass that did what would be called "running a red light" in any other state.

Here, the green WALK signal will start flashing about 10 seconds before the traffic light changes to red.
