We can get people to stop at the gates when the arm has been knocked down and a temp stop sign is put up.
Total agree, after all gates have been down at st Charles and 90% of cars don’t even slow down.
Back to OPs thoughts on light, this morning I came to the light in question at 0417. Not a sole anywhere.

So from 2100 to 0500 OP just make a right on the red, do a 180 and proceed thru the green light. No cost to residents, OP doesn’t gave to wait few minutes.


OP, No one will know if you waited, made right and a 180, or just ran the red light. Your Problem Solved
