Different state to state??? Try intersection to intersection! But one
thing is always the same - they will be green until I approach and then immediately turn RED!!!! wrote in message ...

Try intersection to intersection! But one thing is always the same - they will be green until I approach and then immediately turn RED!!!! They don't differ from state to state except in timing. An operation of Murphy's Law I guess. Another one is where you want to read something at the next red light. This guarantees that the next 6 lights will be green. A similar thing is when you unfasten your seat belt to get into a pocket and intend to refasten at the next light.

demand a UNIFORM national STANDARD for traffic signal desig and light sequences!!! That already existes. The US Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration should be able to provide you with details, so you can grab a stopwatch and check if the timing of a particular traffic light is within the limits. email/write your congressman Great idea. Maybe he will send you a copy of the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices"? Jochen |

Well, then, they differ, don't they? Of course they differ! Just like intersections do - and different intersections require different schemes, according to size, traffic, road conditions etc.; some might have extra signals, like arrows for left turns... Even the same traffic lights may differ, depending on the time of day (rush hours traffic vs. 3:00am Sundays g) There isn't such a thing as a "one size fits all" light sequence. Jochen |

True enough but what I meant was that they don't differ in patterns like, for instance, in Germany where there is a red and yellow combination to let people get ready to let out the clutch (or whatever you do with it :-) -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
