Welcome to Watertown, where red is the new yellow.

According to driversed.com:

TRAFFIC SIGNALS
 GREEN—A green light means GO, but you must first let any vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians remaining in the intersection get through before you move ahead.
YELLOW—A yellow signal light warns you that the red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, you should stop, if you can do so safely. If you can't stop, look out for vehicles that may enter the intersection when the light changes.
RED—A red signal light means STOP. 

According to drivers in Watertown, NY
GREEN—A green light means GO so get the heck out of the way everyone because I have the green light.
YELLOW—A yellow signal light means eventually the light will turn red. When you see the yellow light, you should speed up and tailgate the person in front of you to get through the light.
RED—A red signal light means a car behind you will need to stop. 

Welcome to Watertown, where red is the new yellow. Can you tell it irritates me when people violate traffic laws?
