Safety Tips You Don't Know 1) Men's Health states that ramp metering...you know...those annoying red lights that stop you from entering a highway...will save you time. The use of traffic signals at highway on-ramps regulates traffic flow forcing a small time penalty on drivers at the beginning of their commutes. However, it pays off states the magazine. They quote David Schrank, Ph.D., of the Texas Transportation Institute: "Requiring vehicles to wait 20 or 30 seconds can save drivers 5 to 10 minutes on their trip." 2) Always be prepared for a water landing; most cars have electronic windows.
