I just don't get it. In Germany their town council has decided traffic lights should be removed from the dowtown area. Why? Excellent question. It has nothing to do with repairing them or anything else like that.
It's because they think no traffic lights will improve road safety. How? If the drivers are just as bad as in Canada how will it improve road safety when each driver refuses to let the other one go ahead not to mention the pedestrians, after dodging cars at no-traffic-light-intersections will be able to compete in next year's marathon. Dodging vehicles is enough of a training regiment for any marathon.
But this is just more proof that no matter where in the world politicians are stupid. Not nice to say but true. Someone. Anyone out there convince me removing traffic lights is going to improve road safety.....well, I'm waiting.
