Traffic can suck my ass · 10:06pm Dec 23rd, 2016
Seriously, I don't fucking understand the traffic system on the East Coast. Out on the South Coast the traffic lights actually have sensors that do their job, while East Coast has timers.
On the South if you pull up to the signals, they'll sense your car is there and switch when there's no on-coming traffic, but out here on the East Coast, if I were to pull up to an intersection and the opposite lights switch to green, they stay on for a whole 4 minutes, even when no other car is coming. I end up sitting at a light for 4 minutes, with no cars in sight the whole time. This is completely unnacceptable.
I seriously want to walk up to the city officials and tell them to fix these lights, because I don't want to sit in a traffic jam stretching back 2 miles all because 1 light decides to switch from green to red every 20 seconds. Not only that, since it's the time for holiday shopping, you got so many cars out there. It's comparable to Disneyland during the summer break, people are EVERYWHERE and it's impossible to get on a ride without loosing your fucking mind waiting in line for an hour. I have shit to do, and these lights are making it impossible to get things done in time.
And let's not forget the people on the road, those fucking assholes who do stupid shit and make you miss the light. Seriously, if you're the type of person who fucks around while driving, sell your car and fucking ride a bicycle from now on- preferably with deformed tires so you can fall over from the sidewalk and into oncoming traffic(apologies to the good people who ride their bikes everyday to work or wherever you're going.)
That's about the end of my rant.
