I wonder if they have an actual time that the amber is supposed to be?

Doesnt surprise me that it turns quickly. I havent noticed it but next time I roll through I will try to take note of it too.

I believe amber lights are all timed differently depending on the speed limit and the size of the intersection

I don`t expect to change anything but it`s nice to know the times between light changes. Seems if you come to this intersection at 40-50 kmh you won`t have enough time to stop if the light is at the end of the green before it changes to red. Now I approach it at 30-35 kmh.
The speed limit is 50 kms like most of Saskatoon, except for school areas/30 kms and it`s 60 kms in afew industrial areas. The size/length & width of this intersection seems similar to the other 8th Street main intersections. The difference seems to be the length of the traffic lite cycles, it`ll be interesting to time afew to see if this one is quicker. While I could be wrong I`m betting it is....
Thanks for the interesting article Les!
