You can't make a right on red from any part of the intersection, either. It's ridiculous. It's a waste of power, honestly. Imagine how many times you've seen a light in the middle of nowhere that could have been replaced with a stop sign? Now think about how much power the lights use... then the switch boxes, then the computer systems to run them... etc. It's a constant draw that isn't usually necessary.

100% agreement. Plus traffic lights cost a mint in the first place. They are starting to put in roundabouts here instead of stop signs. They are much safer but don't allow for the best high speed coasting. Still, much better than stop signs.
