The Analysis of the Effect of Red Light Signal Countdown Device on Intersection Safety

Based on the analysis of the traffic capacity and safety of the intersection in time of red light countdown, the contradiction between traffic capacity and traffic safety caused by red light signal countdown device is demonstrated through experiments to provide some references for the setting and use of red light signal countdown device.
