The speed of Amber to Red light

[blueray]

Hi Guys,

 

Anyone kana before the change of amber to red light within less than one second? I notice that nowaday the speed of changing traffic light can be very fast. I just kana one which have camera. Now waiting for the fine to come. Is there any chance to appeal for such case? I am already so near to stop line when it change amber so I decide to carry on. Who will know less than a second it become red!!!

[SinFilled]

Agreed! I notice sometimes the amber light changes too quick. E.g. i was at the 2nd arrow marking when i reach the stop line it was red already. lolZ

[stanco]

agree. nowadays turn from amber to red damn fast...

[heisehui]

turn fast fine fast mah. but i tink the cam go timing 1. like how many sec later then activate

[contrarian]

It is extremely rare to see actual cases of such alleged technical errors, because being on the road long enough, you know the typical amber to red change timing and I've never seen that happen.

 

If you really believe that to be the case, go to the TP and make a case for it. Someone I know did that.

dats y when approach traffic light i slow dwn.. confirm stil green den throttle up..

 

cannot e-brake in less den 2 sec wif my big monster.. lol..

i've taken note of amber timings, during the day usually around 2 sec, at night about 1 sec. i also kenna b4, only 1 arrow left i speed @ amber, stop line it became red, i dash thru. there's a camera there but no summon. the camera i think take 1 sec after u cut their sensor on the road to activate.

 

but your own judgement of time may also be inaccurate at different times.

[shaunz]

seem before, happens usually in the night, especially on more wulu roads

usually in such traffic light junctions, there will be a sign that says "Change in Traffic Light Timing"... the timing will adjust accordingly to traffic conditions at the junction

the change is the timeing it stays red or green, not amber.

those who travel frequently along upp changi rd east, the traffic light from shell stn sometimes turn amber and back to GREEN. saw it three times already. haha.

red-amber-green

 

or green-amber-green?

[FrdAuZ]

If amber to red kinda long it means the RED LIGHT CAMERA there is ACTIVATED.

 

If amber to red quite fast...nvm can beat...

 

The reason y it takes a longer time so dat u got time to stop..

[Izammo]

red-amber-green

 

or green-amber-green?

green amber green.

[arthur_chan]

green amber green.

 

trafic light must be faulty or there's something wrong with the computer.

[arthur_chan]

amber timing is hard to guage, if u count the flashing right turn green arrow, u'll find that morning usually 3 times, at night only 1.

 

so does it mean at night it's ok to beat red light?

should be around 1.5 to 2.5 secs....

and those on the road got those rectangular sensor one, sometimes very fast at times very slow.

[Ev0xiaoboy]

At the junction near ibp, from amber to red takes like 2-3 seconds? quite long.

[xiaowen]

if u stick to the speed of the road.. then when approaching traffic light, close trottle at the first arrow, 2nd arrow standby brake and if u feel it is ok to contunue, then just open back trottle gradually at the last arrow.

 

usually if the speed limit is fast, the 3 arrow are further apart.

[fidz07]

I think it depends on the speed limit of the road... Some roads the traffic light changed from amber to red in 3 seconds flat. Some roads especially those minor roads with pedestrian crossings traffic light change in 1.5 seconds...

[racingter]

hmmmmmm somehow i feel different places amber to red light changing speed diff.....

if u close throttle, behind vehicle might flash u. usually i just maintain speed, if change @ 3rd arrow, close throttle and stop. If change @ 2nd arrow, open throttle and speed up.

 

btw, it's 3rd arrow from the stop line, not 1st arrow of 3 arrows from you.

some roads, i got time to stop but i just beat, dono why leh. must practise safer habits.
