Do you blast through them on red or wait for the green? I'm convinced these actually cause more traffic. Seems like only the betas stop for the 2 seconds it stays red.

I actually do understand it well. If idiots learned how to merge there wouldn't be a need for these bullshite lights. BTW I hate you.

Why put a red light on the acceleration lane? It's not a drag race.

I've only seen these in BTR and Denver. I usually blast through on accident because who is expecting a traffic light on an on-ramp

The idiots in BR 100% cannot merge and, for that reason, the lights help. But only when people use them.

I love how truck drivers have this ramp for accelerating their rig up to Interstate speed, and then DOTD directs them to stop.

So, I gather from other responses, these are traffic lights for the on-ramp to the interstate? That's ridiculous if so.

There are red lights on the merge lane to the interstate? And y'all wonder why traffic is bad?

Yep.

But these are the same people that put that frickin mess between Acadian & College- the merge/exit lane.

Its dumb as hell - so you've taken the ability of a truck to get to ~50mph in the merge lane and cut that to ~20mph.

It’s dumb and is there because morons don’t know how to merge.
