I believe all drivers know that when they wait for the traffic signal, there is basically a countdown number. Therefore, when the driver sees the same time, he can release the hand brake to prepare for the start, especially for those taxi drivers who are racing cars. In this case, basically, with the change of seconds, red lights are rare. However, some cities have cancelled the countdown of traffic lights. Many drivers said they were OK and were in trouble now.
Relevant departments explained the cancellation of digital countdown. First, the countdown of traffic light manufacturers is not smart enough. This means that the program will pre arrange the current traffic lights, and they will also be followed. But in fact, sometimes the traffic from south to north is very busy, but there is no car in the east-west direction, but the red light in the north-south direction shows the red light, and the traffic light shows the green light in the east-west direction. In other words, there are no vehicles passing at this intersection. If the traffic signal countdown is canceled, the intelligent detection system will be used to detect relatively large traffic flow in the north-south direction, and peer points are urgently needed. Then adjust the north-south direction to green. It reduces the traffic pressure to a certain extent and saves the time of traffic lights, such as traffic lights.
Another explanation is that such changes can reduce road rage. I don’t know how to get in touch with anger in this way, but the relevant department said that if there was no countdown, only cars that were behind would be seen. The car in front is moving, basically following the movement. We have no habit of driving; If the countdown time is counted down and the car in front has not started, the car behind will know when the green light is on. At this time, if the car in front is sluggish for one second, the car behind will fluctuate greatly, and the different honking of the horn may cause road rage.
However, netizens concluded that these changes led to an increase in waiting time for drivers. Because I don’t know how long the journey will take, I’m not very focused. Because I didn’t know that the second green light was on, everyone was afraid of the red light. Because you can wait until the green traffic light comes on, release the handbrake and walk away. This will cause more cars to wait behind and wait longer.
