The traffic engineer was at fault.
More likely, the "lady" had a green light and figured she owned the road. I see this happening all the time at an intersection close to work. They figure they can cow you into letting them by. Over time, I've developed an instinct for cars that are going to do this.
So I bought an Air Zounds so I could zap these cars as they pass by.
