We had a problem with a light earlier this month. Submitted a request to Montgomery County Sheriff on line. They responded same day and fixed it within a couple days.

There was one here that was worse, it would turn yellow before you could hit the gas. I kept thinking my mind was ******* with me. They fixed it a while back though.

Theres a light here in College Station that gives a protected green arrow while the oncoming traffic still has yellow. Its a good 2-3sec overlap. I know I and several people have contacted the city and the county and there has even been a wreck but, sadly, I guess someone has to get killed before they'll do anything

The F150 running the light really doesn't help things much either.

i'm trying to remember exactly where it was at but there was one just like that near my house. i think it has something to do with the sensor not being sensitive enough. not really sure.
