List, This morning, as often, I had to stop and sit at a light for not a single car. When it turned green, a whole group of cars on the other street had to stop, --for just me! Why aren't there sensors to detect approaching vehicles and adjust lights? One cheap computer has enough power to calculate the traffic patterns and probabilities of which ways cars might go for a whole city and adjust tall he lights. Congress legislates the gas mileage vehicles must get, but fails to force municipalities to buy such systems. This would really save big on fuel, brake jobs, car wear and tear, and help the economy by increasing human productivity. -mike "Berley A.
