Traffic lights can, if used sensibly, alleviate problems at some interchanges and serve a useful function in ramp metering. They are not a universal panacea but that is how they have been treated by the lazy and incompetent. I find them useful because they make motorists drive in convoys with gaps between the convoys where people can cross the road without fear of being killed. The alternative seems to be an endless stream of traffic which makes crossing the road virtually impossible or else means waiting a long, long time. -- World Carfree Network http://www.worldcarfree.net/ Help for your car-addicted friends in the U.K. |
