Common Causes of Car Accidents #1: Not obeying traffic lights

Two common things happen at traffic lights that shouldn’t: vehicles speed up to beat a red light and vehicles jump the light (start driving before it turns green). Both practices are dangerous and can lead to serious accidents, especially when one driver runs a yellow light and another jumps a red light.

Put simply:
Green means go.
Yellow means slow.
Red means no.

Traffic lights are a safety precaution that not only manage the flow of traffic, but assign the right of way and ensure the safety of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Prioritize arriving safely at your destination, give yourself extra travel time, and always obey traffic signals.
