Description
As from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward and southward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye...halting all traffic in its tracks for reasons unknown, then only briefly releasing its prisoners as a cat toys with its prey, only to be re-captured by the Eye's unholy Route 9 brethren.
In other words, whose bright idea was it to put this light here? There's already an exit for Spackenkill Road, and the other Route 9 lights in the area are a hopeless mess.
Close this intersection. Or something.

Light is also activated by Fire/Ambulance activity from Arlington Station 5 if enroute to emergency response the light will go green for the fire/ambulance apparatus to proceed thru intersection.

When I see this light turn red, it hasn't been for any emergency. It's usually one car, turning right onto northbound 9....meaning they aren't even planning to cross over.
It's not safe at all if you're headed down that hill southbound with a tractor-trailer on your tail and out of nowhere the light turns red.
