The Traffic Lights Down By Shoprite and Walmart



Is it me, or have they now added a rather confusing traffic light at the intersection of 22 and St. James Ave? The lights face at an angle, so that you can see them no matter what side of the intersection you're on.

To me, this is absurd, and in fact may cause more accidents. I am not supposed to see the light as it changes for the other guys; I am only supposed to see the light on MY side. The first time I noticed it I did a double-take... "that light is green. Wait a minute, is that MY light, or is that theirs?"

Pretty goddamned stupid and dangerous, if you ask me. If they want to prevent accidents down at that intersection, then they should make more of a delay between the green, red and yellow at the 2 lights that change too quickly as people are driving through.
