Wow, when I lived in Thornedale [27 yrs ago] it wasn't that big, but it was still a dangerous intersection...

We have those "Red light ahead" indicators... but they aren't timed correctly, at least 1/2 the time I go through them its showing a red light, when I get there its green

That is probably due to a generous fudge factor on the side of caution as PennDOT is no doubt aware of the large number of drivers who come from a neighboring state where they burn themselves with coffee, blame the clown and get a mac-million for their pain and suffering. Another example would be the one on bottom of the hill on 115 before Wilkes-barre for the Geisinger light that has even greater margin for error probably due to the wide range of speeds because of the hill, weather conditions and coal cracker drivers.
