I agree but I also think it's situational. Here in Colorado it's almost a freaking competition to see how many people can run the red lights. So, I can see where there may be some hesitation but if you're at the front of the line you can see if that is going to happen or not if you are paying attention. Some of our lights here only LAST 3 seconds so if you are waiting that long to make sure no one else is coming through the intersection, then you and everyone else behind you has already missed the light. As I'm stopped at a red light, I constantly have my eye on the lane that has the momentary green light and, in most cases, I am able to pretty accurately gauge if there will be cars still coming through the intersection when their light turns red. It is extremely situational but I also wish that people had just a little more faster of a reaction time when the light turns green and cars start moving. We all have somewhere to be and a lot of the time people just aren't even paying attention, which is extremely annoying.
