Traffic light timers in Taiwan

Here is another thing that Taiwan has that the United States should have. It's traffic lights with timers to let you know when the light will turn green or red. I know that some traffic lights in the US have sensors to detect cars but some of them are on timers. I think that might encourage racing and speeding though...

did u just go through a red light?!

[dnhu827]

No we didn't. It was a green light and I just showed the red light because I wanted to see it up close as we approached it. However, a lot of people pass red lights in Taiwan. Haha!

the Green Light countdowns actually caused more accidents... that's why most places stick to only Red Light countdowns (which reduce the frequency of accidents).

Sadly nowadays the green light countdown in Taiwan has been canceled by the govenment, and only red light countdown could be seen

@weipeiwu2000 Noticed those cool walking people in those lights? They start running as soon as the timer approaches 5 seconds. :)

Also has this in Chongqing, China. ;)

they have those in mainland China too, but they rust so fast because of the humidity... They were there for a year and gone the next. Here in the US of A, I actually don't mind watching the pedestrian lights count down and turn red.
