This is really beautiful!  Yes, there is some ridiculous bureacracy on the coasts and in the larger cities, but the constitution and its amendments are non-negotiable and it's awesome to see that not only did he win his court case, but made history with his new traffic light formula! Bravo!!!

"the formula used to time traffic lights and realized it didn’t take into account that drivers making turns need to slow down to safely navigate the intersection"

Not only that -- there are many other reasons why you might enter the intersection after the light turns yellow and still be in it when it turns red.

- you've just pulled out of a parking space or driveway and have not yet accelerated
- you're going to pull into a parking space or driveway on the other side of the intersection
- there's stopped traffic on the other side of the intersection, but space for you to stop behind it, clear of the intersection
- you're going significantly slower than the speed limit because you're on a bicycle, scooter, tractor etc
- you're simply driving significantly slower than the speed limit

Incredible win! Not many would go to these lenghts to do what he did, especially fighting against such absolutist institutions. Good that justice was truly served.
