I noticed the heavy volume on a recent post on bad drivers.
I spend almost 2 hours a day in traffic. I should carry a clicker sometime and count all of the traffic lights I go through, but it is upwards of 50 or more one way.
In this day of IT, why are traffic lights so horrible? There is one light that I have to go around since it will not allow me to go straight. Another light, that does left turn arrow first and only – yet no one ever turns that way. I see left turn lights that stay green way too long as well. I will not mention the light that catches me every morning that is there just for a department store that starts with a W*. Another light just seems to be there for the h of it. I could go on and on.
I estimate that 20-30 minutes a day are lost because lights are not operating properly.
Does any one else feel this way?
Is it safe to say that fixing these lights would greatly improve traffic and reduce pollution?
