Why is it, that whenever a road has to be dug up, and temporary traffic lights installed, you have to wait for what seems like forever on the red light, whilst the opposite direction, whose light is on green, has no traffic whatsoever? Yesterday I waited at these temporary lights so long that I was tempted to risk ignoring the red light.
These temporary lights have a "smart box" on the top of them, I'm informed that this is actually a sensor, that can read the amount of waiting traffic, and therefore change the lights to improve traffic flows. Yeah right! I am convinced that the smart box is actually a small CCTV camera, and it's sending an image to some jumped up, perverse little traffic clerk, who sits at a desk, getting his rocks off over driver frustrations.
