What is a Dilemma Zone?
A length of roadway on the approach to a signalized intersection within which drivers are indecisive as to whether to stop or continue on through when seeing the yellow indication.

Outcome
Reduced CrashesReduced Red Light RunningDoes Not Adjust For Variable SpeedsTends to “Max Out” in medium to heavy traffic levels so protection is lost

Observations
Adjust dilemma zone to the speed of the vehicleAdjusts to look for smaller gapsStop bar loop needed for added initialSpeeds may change after crossing the loopsCurrently found only in a Naztec 2070 controllerCost
