Description
As from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward and southward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye...halting all traffic in its tracks for reasons unknown, then only briefly releasing its prisoners as a cat toys with its prey, only to be re-captured by the Eye's unholy Route 9 brethren.
In other words, whose bright idea was it to put this light here? There's already an exit for Spackenkill Road, and the other Route 9 lights in the area are a hopeless mess.
Close this intersection. Or something.

When I see this light turn red, it hasn't been for any emergency. It's usually one car, turning right onto northbound 9....meaning they aren't even planning to cross over.
It's not safe at all if you're headed down that hill southbound with a tractor-trailer on your tail and out of nowhere the light turns red.

The signal timing has been somewhat fixed. It doesn't turn red when the intersection is empty any more...the light up the hill by the Barnes & Noble does that.
But it does turn red when somebody is approaching from Spackenkill, even though 99% of the traffic turns right.
