No, it's not. For example, that video you posted in LA, i know where that is and most lights there are like that ON PURPOSE. The reason is because when the green arrow sign comes, pedestrians are allowed to start walking, and you are SUPPOSED to stop and let them go, even if it was just yellow and turned to a green arrow.
Let me know when a pedestrian can cross a street in 4/10ths of a second.
Epic fail on your part.
At first I thought you were just being stupid, but you're from the south so its expected. But since that simple explanation flew over your head, let me make it easier for you. When the red light in front of the blue car was red, the pedestrians (there were none presently) are allowed to cross the street which he would have been turning onto. Fortunately there were no pedestrians.
This is exactly what I meant when I say they need things like this shit. People really need to start learning the laws of driving so I could get where the fuck I needed to without people fucking up every 5 minutes.
