Since I'm a California transplant, the one thing I noticed when I first started frequenting Reno is how the traffic lights change here. Now, in Cali they lag for second or three, meaning when one turns red, the other takes about 3 seconds to change. Here, they change immediately, one goes red while the other goes green. So this means that when some douche decides to run the red, or make the light, it already green for other traffic.....and pedestrians...and bikes. Ive seen little old ladies nearly mowed down when trying to cross the street, and have had some close calls myself both in and out of cars. This seems like a gigantic safety issue, how the heck can this be legal/ programmed by risk mgmt or the engineer, etc? I've never seen this until here, and Ive driven in like 40-something states..
