My experience in PA with 3 seconds yellow and 2 seconds from onset of
red to onset of green for the cross street for streets posted at least up
to 35 MPH is that what I experience here is fine and dandy.

That's good to see- a 2 second delay for cross traffic. I'm sure it
has prevented lots of accidents. Too bad those engineers can't act
