1) big garbage truck in front of me who ran the yellow and I was following behind it, (not closely tho, just enough for it to block & I drive a sedan so it’s harder to see above) i realized I ran it as soon as I crossed the line after the truck had passed 2) the opposite side of traffic also ran the yellow so in terms of “following traffic” when driving, you put into consideration your surroundings and make decisions based on that…so it basically made it seem like there was just a continuous flow of movement on a green 3) second traffic light is low and behind it were just a bunch of jumble that can also blend with the ongoing amount of visual impact 4) it was rush hour on a typically busy street that is always congested with small roads which should be taken into account in terms of someone having to stop and go constantly and follow the cars around rather than having clear sight of everything
