What is with you guys and traffic lights? While they are useful in towns and cities, they have no place in the intercity roadways. I post this because construction finally finished on one of the highways I take to school (after missing its first, and second completion dates, which were posted on different signs in a Stalinist attempt to make the government not appear wrong). The highway was widened, to allow more traffic flow between the two towns (actually, I thing Abbotsford is a city). All good in theory, but they added so many traffic lights, that it now takes me longer to drive through that section of highway than it did before.

This has actually been a recurring trend lately. On one of the highways my mom takes to work, they added three traffic lights. None were really necessary, as you could access the buildings (yeah, they put up three traffic lights to allow access to four buildings) from the preexisting lights without adding any noticeable time to your commute.

So why are they built so fucking much? Every time a new traffic light is erected, god kills a kitten, Micheal Jackson molests a kid, the Terrorists win, and Celine Dion releases another album.

You have people from CalTrans working there, don't you? It's pretty obvious, California Transportation people build freeways over earthquake faults, tear up roads and leave them for months at a time, build flying exit/entrance ramps to nowhere, then they leave town. Now I know where they went.

Don't you mean Ingsocist...or 1984ist...or Oceanian...

Maybe they want the roads more colorful...:rolleyes:

Well, I thought Stalin's regime did it too *based on Animal Farm*. Anyways, it didn't make the road more colorful, as the new sign was the same color.

Heh..

You just need to do what I do..

Find a way around them! Around here, mall parking lots will get you out of traffic, and quite a few red lights.

Weird. Actually, every time that happens, Shania Twain sings "You Shook Me All Night Long" She fucked up that song big time, so yechhh.
