I am driving around somewhere the other day and I got really annoyed about the traffic lights. It usually works, especially on stretches of by-passes and main through routes that you get stopped by just about as many lights as there are on the stretch of the road. I have always thought this was kind of lame. After all, the idea of the traffic signals is to keep traffic flowing in as orderly a fashion as possible. In fact what usually happens is the lights retard the flow of traffic by causing excessive amounts of stopping.
