Broken: (Just for Fun) Traffic lights sculpture
Kip Nicol points out a picture from REALJimBob's Flickr photostream:
This traffic light sculpture in Canary Wharf in London is located in a real roundabout - I wonder how many people have actually mistaken this sculpture for a real traffic light cluster!
It is funny and interesting at the same time. It seems like traffic signals are sprouting like weeds around here. They are never timed right, so I usually end up having to stop at every single one of them. Usually when a road is widened from 2 to 4 lanes, all the minor intersections seem to get signalized. There really needs to be a law to limit municipalities on how many traffic signals they can put on state routes. It just seems to invite dangerous driving as people attempt to "beat the light".
^Yeah, but what's the other option? Leave out the traffic lights and invite dangerous driving as people try to beat each other?
Stop? Go?? Walk??? Don't walk????
