Leaving a large space at a traffic light
This may happen in other states, but I have only noticed it in Utah.
I frequently see people stop a full car length or more from the white lines at traffic lights.
Is this taught as a proper thing to do here? I guess people don’t realize that traffic lights are often triggered by inductance coils in the pavement, so if a car is not on them they can’t detect you.
