How we decided on the traffic lights as we know them today, and the colors we chose, is a story of regulation and modernization.

ReplyDeleteWorst song ever!
DeleteWe didnt choose. If it were me, there would be none traffic lights.
ReplyDeleteSo, you like the traffic circles?
DeleteBan all traffic, it's the democratic way....
DeleteWhy do you think it must be either/or?
DeleteHow about neither. How about all drivers learn the rules to a minimum standard. Violators pay heavy.
Recently I came across a You Tube video about North Korea. They don't have a reliable electricity supply so instead of traffic lights they have really cute women in really smart uniforms directing the traffic.
ReplyDeleteHooey, all of it. Everyone knows that the traffic light was invented by a genius homeboy, without whom your exquisitely engineered German automobiles would be nothing but smoking wrecks at every intersection.
