PLN 10-Drivers will see more yellow at camera intersections

I was searching throughout the Rocky Mountain News blog and found an article titled, "Drivers will see more yellow at camera intersections". This article is about Denver having the opportunity to give drivers more time for yellow lights they tend to stop, and rush at. This also will include a pedestrian countdown that identifys how much time will remain until yellow lights. These lights will go up to 4.3 seconds at the most with red light monitoring cameras. The purpose of the monitors is to witness red light runs and accidents. It is to increase the safety of others and decrease accidents.

This article seemed to matter to me because many drivers will get into several accidents. The rush of yellow lights tend to cause these risks. I thought the purpose of this new idea would be very good for drivers of the road. It will be able to monitor and witness, but also give a longer time limit of those yellow lights.

In the world, most teens get into accidents around the age of 16/17, and is one of the leading causes of teenage death. Putting more rules and precautions out on the road will be able to create safer risks for all drivers.
