Is It Fair?
If you are within the stopping
distance and driving at the
speed limit and the light just
suddenly turns yellow, you
should be able to make it
through before the light turns

Let’s Find Out
To find out whether the timing of the
yellow light is set up correctly or not, we
did simple calculations that involved:
In our calculations
- We assumed that all cars are running at
the
speed limit as they pass through the
intersection
l = d*nl
i
Prove it
The inequality below helps us to
prove whether the timing of a yellow
light is set up correctly or not.
