Sounds great, but I don’t live there and do have to deal with drivers and traffic lights, and I would like to implement whatever measures will slow them down. If the first and easiest is altering traffic light patterns, cool, do it. I’m supposed to not want this?

It depends on whether this is about retiming existing lights (which is relatively cheap) or building new ones. Retiming existing lights is fine, building new ones just shows that engineers don't care about the problem and would rather waste millions of $ on a non-solution.

I don’t see anything in the article about building more lights, just altering the timing so that the default light state is red instead of green.
