    yeah, brilliant concept except for when it's late in the evening or early morning and you are coming up on the light and it turns red and you have to wait forever just for one car or a string that seems never ending. than imagine a road that has stop lights upon stop lights...

    glad I came across this article though because it alleviates my frustration a little knowing how the system works and what the purpose is behind it. I noticed a change up in the light system but being only aware of the timed lights system doesn't help any... knowing the answer to the why helps lessen frustration levels thank you gadget and tech article
