demand a UNIFORM national STANDARD for traffic signal desig
and light sequences!!!

That already existes. The US Department of Transportation or the
Federal Highway Administration should be able to provide you with
details, so you can grab a stopwatch and check if the timing of a
particular traffic light is within the limits.

email/write your congressman

Great idea. Maybe he will send you a copy of the "Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices"?
