You sit there for 5 minutes? Really? How many tractor trailers were in front of you? B/c thats the only way you could sit there for 5 minutes. As evidence the light is improperly timed, the traffic at rush hour backs up to the extension!

You are right, there is a problem. Just this week I arrived at the light just as it turned red my way. It turned again in just 10 seconds. The next day it was 30 seconds. There is something erratic about the light's controller. The trip wire in the road also has a problem, as some times the light will not turn at all, unless I drive over the stop line. As soon as I do, the light changes.
