Also; convert to roundabouts and you don’t need traffic lights at all. Traffic lights are expensive to buy and they use a fuck load of electricity. Also, fewer fatal accidents with roundabouts.
I agree with this in spirit but they’ve actually installed traffic lights at existing roundabouts because I assume the smartphone-obsessed drivers kept causing accidents.
Roundabouts really suck when they’re saturated, even worse than standard light-controlled intersections. That’s why there are still traffic lights controlling entry into roundabouts in high-volume cases.
Uncontrolled roundabouts work best at medium to low traffic volumes.
