Those lights in the distance look far enough away to be a separate set
of lights. They are quite a long way off from the box junction.

I was once nearly killed somewhere around there where there was a set
of lights across the road that I thought were repeaters for the ones
on my side. They went green and I set off little realising the set I
was at wee still on red !!!

Or how about, "Sometimes when God turns a light red a motorist jumps
it and kills somebody."

Ah yes, that was the junction at which I was very nearly killed by a police
car which had run a red light, hit another car and rolled over, throwing
bits of Vauxhall in all directions.
