Default Sumter Landing Stop light

The stop light in Lake Sumter at Lakeshore Drive and Old Mill Run...the first light as you head into Sumter Landing off Morse roundabout (or bridge for golf carts) is the one I want opinions on please. Many times during very light traffic only one vehicle is sitting and waiting for the light to change when there is zero traffic in sight. That light is a timed light, so regardless of how much traffic, and even if you are the only person sitting at the light, it won't change until it's time runs out.

The question is, how much better would it be if it were (a) were on a trip function so it changed according to traffic flow, or (b) during the non busy times...say 9 PM to 7 AM...it was red blinking and treated like a four way stop?

Please, and I'm saying this with no particular person in mind, no snarky comments about being retired, what's the rush, Villagers won't figure it out, blahblahblah. If you don't have something meaningful to contribute, please don't waste our time.
