Default Main problem

The main problem w/ RLC's is the safety situation. The govt has claimed the RLC's are about safety but I can tell you otherwise. Now, I am not saying just go out and run a red light, this is at all not what I am stating. Picture this, a person in a vehicle in coming up to a RLC intersection and the light turns yellow but instead of "clearing" the intersection, the thought goes thru their mind to slam on their brakes very hard not knowing a vehicle was right behind them. BAM, the vehicle from the rear slams the trunk into the person's back seat. Now how is this promoting safety guys? Vehicle accidents because of what I just stated, have went up on an average of 35-50% at these intersections. Does this help you understand how the govt has made many mistakes in installing these RLC'S at these intersections? I am not promoting running a Red Light, just stating the facts in which the govt doesn't want you to know about.
