Not sure what I could have done differently. I suspect the car approaching the interesection didn't notice me because I was hidden by the left turning lane cars and they had been timing their arrival to the intersection to match the green. Otherwise, a great commute.
How ironic, I had the exact same thing happen to me on the way home from work yesterday! It was green as I entered, changed to yellow and then red very quickly. All of the traffic lanes were full and completely stopped so there was no incident although the last guy didn't see me until I was in front of him. Anyway, great commute, I took the long way home. I had a nice one this morning also, we are getting warmer temps.
