Ralph: Another red light! I never make this signal! I wonder how much time out of my life I've spent sitting at this signal waiting for the light to change? At least twice a day for the last 20 years! The signal is about 90 seconds long. Twice a day would be three minutes a day... Three minutes times 365 days a year, times 20 years... Let's see... Carry the one... Honk!! Ralph: Dang! I missed the signal! Oh, well... What's another 90 seconds?

Remember, traffic lights that are timed for 35 MPH are also synched at 70 MPH.

The lights on most streets in the Indianapolis area are not synced. The sensors do’t work correctly. You even wait for left turn signals when there is no one turning left.

Traffic lights in Tampa are 3 to 4 minutes long. I drink my tea and listen to music

The lights on main street in my town are never in sync with anything! I have to go through 4 lights before getting on the freeway and I have NEVER hit all green.
