Daily Driving Part 4
Hello all, it's been a few days since the last post.
My kids are in town for the next 5 or 6 weeks and in transporting them to the sitters (my parents) in the morning, another subject came up.
Stop Lights........
Why is it that with the technology we have these days, some towns seem to refuse to replace the old timer lights with sensored ones. There is a certain strip of road in the town I live in and the one my parents live in that kill any amount of extra time you have given yourself to do anything. There is a light at every stupid corner for a few blocks and they are all timed lights. What really pisses me off, is you get stuck at every one of them and there is no traffic coming from the other direction. So there you set, for what seems like minutes, at every light, waiting for it to change. AAHHHHHH!!!!
Then there are the ones that stay green forever one direction and the other only lasts for about 10 seconds. No matter what time of the day it is that you pass THESE lights, you get stuck at the red light. Even if you are on the side that stays green for looooooong times, you still manage to get there when it is red.
Why not just get the sensored lights and make everyone happier. Who wants to set thru 4 or 5 blocks of nothing but red lights. Not me by any means. No, let's spend the tax money on uneccessary shit that we don't need, like putting up fancy lights in the center of the split streets, and planting trees on the street sides, etc.
Enough on that because I could keep going...............................
