    Spent few minutes consuming my daily java and observing workers to add yellow frame around traffic lights The immediate effect was to create traffic jam and indirectly causing "fender bender" - thus further reducing 4 lanes of traffic to one.... My burning question - will adding yellow frame around traffic light HELP TO reduce / eliminate / affect speeding drivers with mentality " I do not care, I am going thru ..." from going thru RED light ?

      Surprisingly, that is exactly what they are intended to do:

      Yellow reflective strips help drivers see the lights : Roadshow[^]

      The yellow frames around the perimeter of traffic lights are called reflective backplates. They are designed to help motorists see the signals more easily during morning and evening hours, in areas of visual clutter where the lights might otherwise be obscured, and in areas where lights are oddly spaced.

        It helps to prosecute them. It makes it harder to say you never saw the lights.
