    Case Noted | Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The time given where the signal is displaying red on both approaches has been extended to provide time for vehicles to clear out of the intersection before the next street is given the green. This change in time is not intended to satisfy the time needed should a motorist choose to run the red light and obstruct the intersection or cause a dangerous situation for other drivers, however.
