Next lesson: when power goes out, each traffic light should be treated as a stop sign. Take note, woman who almost T-boned me going 50 through the intersection that EVERY OTHER frickING CAR WAS STOPPED AT.

Those "No Thru Traffic" signs at gas stations/grocery stores/etc trying to prevent people from cutting through the lot to get to another street are meaningless and unenforceable. You can cut through all you damn well please.
Do it in front of a cop and see what happens.
EDIT: Ahh, you're in Georgia. Who knows how arse backwards the laws are there.

I know the security cameras at the bank on the corner of Pecue and Airline has seen me blaze through there at least 50-100 times.

You heard wrong. There is no reason they can't all flash red. There's a very good reason they can't all flash yellow.

Conflicting movements would have the right of way.

Do not fricking stop at flashing yellow traffic lights
This should be on a sign a few hundred feet before every flashing yellow light.

Not necessarily. Anyway, the cabinets are hardwired to flash a certain way. The signal is either going to flash like it's supposed to or if somebody fricked up, go dark. I'm not telling you to blast through at 100 mph. Approach with caution but to come to a stop is to expose yourself to more risk than driving through on a yellow.

FIRST ALERT TRAFFIC
I don't have a camera shot showing the accident, but I-10 E is CLOSED at Louisiana Ave. in Lafayette. Delays back to I-10/I-49. 190 a recommended alternate if heading from Lafayette toward Baton Rouge.

I'm starting to think that the accidents on I-10 are secretly caused by the Krotz Springs PD.
