    Genius invention: progress bar on a stop-light!

    I'm sure we will never see this. Think about how much better traffic would flow if the line knew when the light was gonna change.

              actually that is a bad idea, studies have shown it causes many drivers to speed up, which is bad for 2 reasons, speeding up to make it through an intersection and running red lights.

                      In Thailand a few other Asian countries there is a numerical countdown to the change so you always know how long you have to wait.

                          That doesnt make any sense. The progress bar is only on the red light. What you explain would be the case if it was on the green light.

                          I think it would be soooo much better. It simply makes too much sense to actually be put into use here in the U.S.

                                  I guess it could encourage people to continue driving expecting the red to change. never know, if someone doesn't want to stop for a red that looks like it's about to change, they might just peg one of those "gotta beat the red light" guys who punches it when they see the yellow

                                      Don't you guys just watch the intersecting road's lights and when you see it go yellow know you are about to see green?

                                          The problem I see with it is this-

                                          If you can tell from a reasonable distance how many bars or seconds you have until the light is going to turn, someone approaching the red light can judge how much, if at all, they will need to press the breaks to pass the line on green.

                                          You combo someone not coming to a complete stop before the light change, especially someone who doesn't drastically decrease their speed ,with someone coming the other direction that's trying to beat the red - you've got a sweet t-bone on your hands with possibly some serious speed behind it.

                                                  sorry, there's no story with the picture so i figured it was a bar showing the progress till a full red light, which has been studied.
