I live in Tampa Florida and there are several intersections that do not have traffic lights. I drive for Uber/Lyft and would love to have the option off adding a route that would only take me through protected traffic light intersections. Just like the option we have of taking toll roads or not. Currently when i select a route I may not know/recall if a street coming up is going to have a controlled light . Very unnerving to get to a intersection where i have to cross with no traffic lights given the amount off the traffic flow. I have to wait and hope people will stop long enough to allow me through and even then i am praying that the traffic on the far side of the road realizes that the traffic next to them has slowed/stopped to allow me across. I've seen so many accidents where the individual wa making his way across only to be hit by a car in the far lane that did not notice the gap to allow the car to pass until it was too late to stop.
