Until the 1970s, most traffic lights would switch red-to-green at the same instant that the other direction went yellow-to-red. Because accidents would sometimes occur at that transition, New York City innovated a phase, usually about three to five seconds, of all-red lights, so the intersection would be completely clear before actuating the green ("go") signal. The "New York pause" has become widespread across the U.S.

Get the New York breeze mug.The tendency of a New York City resident to only judge other cities by how they compare to New York.
