You're coming up to an intersection. Traffic light is green. BUT unfortunately the other side is full, cars on a standstill. Do you still cross the intersection, knowing there's a big chance you're going to be obstructing the intersecting road once their traffic signal goes green?
I've seen this case too often enough and it's one major cause of heavy traffic in Metro Manila. Perhaps MMDA should just redefine "Beating the Red Light" to "Getting Caught by the Red Light". Then, no matter if it's green or orange. As long as the Red Light catches you blocking the intersection, you've earned your ticket.
That will do good on MMDA's revenue collection. At least until people learn a bit of discipline, and everyone can enjoy a bit less stressful road traffic.
