This policy should be titled, “Every light, every time”. This has created frustration with drivers and results in attempts to “beat the lights and leap frog slower traffic”. I believe this, not street racing is the major cause of most accidents. Traffic controls should be used to move traffic, not stop it. Years ago you could drive the speed limit and the lights, at least in Mesa, were timed so you hit most every light green. Tempe’s policy’s have cause congestion and frustration leading to more accidents.
