typically, a yellow is -supposed- to last one second for every 10MPH of the speed limit. So a 35MPH zone -should- have a 3.5second yellow light, +/-.

When I lived in Tallahassee they used countdown timers on the yellow for some major intersections. That was 1967-1969, and I have no idea if they still have them.

But it needs to vary depending on the speed limit. It would be silly to have a 8 sec yellow in a 20 mph (30 km/h) zone - but anything less is too short for a 60 mph (100 km/h) zone. Somewhere (maybe another country?) I saw a countdown timer with the traffic light. I don't remember if it was counting the red, yellow or the green. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
