I have used this signal controlled crossing hundreds of times. Usually drivers are really good, but those pulling out of nearby businesses can blow through light. (not saying this is what happened yesterday)

Heads up: Buried in a 1,000-page bill is a section that would freeze every state’s ability to enforce A.I. laws for the next 10 years.
That means no new protections from A.I. scams, deepfakes, or impersonation.
Bad idea.
