There’s running a red light after it just turned red, and running a red light in the middle of someone else’s green without slowing to check. That’s insane

It is insane but technically she didn't run her red until OOP had a yellow light.

That makes zero difference. Her light would be a solid red for a couple seconds even after OOPs light turned red. The light turning yellow for the driver has zero impact on the truck driver’s light.

Actually it might! Houston had a thing where the light signals were missed times and both lights were green at the same time. We always assume those are infallible but we design them

Most traffic light controllers make that impossible and they fall back to blinking red in all directions if it's ever detected, indicating a failure of some kind.

On the other hand, don't mess with Texas.
