This is often compounded by the inability to see what phase the light is in when travelling on RT 66 during sunrise and sunset. It is often very difficult to tell which light is lit with the sun behind you and many just cruise right through, regardless... a completely careless and potentially fatal behavioral flaw!
Lengthening the yellow or increasing the delay will not deter those that travel the road regularly as they will become accustomed to the change very quickly. Police presence and/or an intersection camera may prove to be a more effective deterrent.

The yellow light at Higby Road and Route 66 needs to be definitely longer. I've seen yellow lights lasting for 3-4 sec, this is about a second or 2 at most. I absolutely agree it is dangerous, if not a fatality waiting to happen! I almost killed myself a little over a year ago, trying to cross 66 on a yellow, and the car coming from my right side, claiming they already had a green, smashed into my right back tire sending my car flying in circles through an intersection. At about 40 mph I went down someones lawn backwards and hit a brick pole. Luckily, the car was not going forward or I would've smashed the glass with my head. Please change that light before more people get hurt, or worse, die! I don't understand why it is such a short yellow, and such a short green, at an intersection with a fast Route 66.

I agree with Jane 100%. How many accidents, injuries and deaths is it going to take to solve this problem. If they were able to spend a fortune straightening out the curve two miles back from this intersection they should be able to resolve the light issue/

I would like to add another issue with this particular traffic light. If you are coming from Meriden and take a left onto Higby Rd, the red light is not visible!!! I've gone through the light on several occasions because the light is turned in a way that the red light bulb is not shining directly towards the row of traffic. This is SO DANGEROUS and someone is going to get killed if this is not fixed soon. I live on Higby Rd and I'm very concerned about this issue. Who else should I contact about this problem? Anyone??

We are having trouble finding the email addresses of public works and are unable to notify the appropriate officials about this issue. It would be a great help to the city and SeeClickFix if you were able to inform us of this missing information
