I can understand why. There's such a big delay between the change to red and the opposing traffic's change to green. The behaviour is actually encouraged by the large delay and the extensive use of signs on intersections where they're not neccessary. Drivers are being dumbed down and the result is... you guessed it - dumb drivers.

I suspect there is a big delay between the change to red and the opposing side changing because bastards jump the lights. (insert favorite deity) help us if that was changed.

Having worked in traffic engineering in the past, I can assure you it's the other way around.
