In Bloomberg, I argued that traffic lights are a street safety solution that’s hiding in plain sight

For instance, cities can
▪️ Install Leading Pedestrian Intervals to make those on foot more visible
▪️ Use "rest in red" to halt reckless drivers after dark
▪️ Lower the green wave speed on high-crash corridors

Note: None of these require AI or V2X mumbo jumbo.

Pushback from drivers is rare; they may not even notice.
