The light in question works for me about 90% of the time. Unfortunately it is the main way to get on the highway from my neighborhood. The alternate routes involve driving a fair way out of the way and have more vehicular traffic including vehicles turning in from residential side streets. I'd have to add at least another 5-10 minutes to my morning commute
plus take a higher risk of being hit by a driver, a tradeoff I'm not willing to make at this time. So, I'll keep calling in the malfunctioning lights in my city (reported two more of them this morning) and hope eventually they'll get off their asses and obey the law.
