Cities that fine-tune the timing of stoplights to prioritise safety — extending yellow phases or adjusting sequences to discourage speeding and red-light running — are seeing safer intersections with minimal cost or backlash. By shaping driver behaviour through well-timed signals, communities can reduce dangerous manoeuvres and make streets calmer and more predictable.

Señales con tiempo adecuado influyen en la conducta de los conductores y ayudan a calles más tranquilas y predecibles.
