Notice that some yellow lights have gotten to where they switch to red quicker? This would be why.

ive noticed since they installed cameras on the 65 mile an hour state highway intersections near my house that they dont just turn red when someone on a side street needs to turn left onto the highway - they turn red every 2 minutes no matter what.
the other night i was driving home at 2 in the morning I hit three red lights in a row at intersections NOBODY WAS AT. 65 to zero, back to 65, to zero, back to 65, to zero. anyone know what that does to your MPH? let alone your time?
but our government is using out tax dollars to "help us" by making our intersections "safer" while doing everything they can to "reduce out dependence on forgein oil"
yeah ****ing right...
