Stop Lights
OK, this has been a strange weekend for traffic lights. This has lasted all of Saturday and today. I've been hitting mostly green lights all weekend. Yes, I still hit the occasional red, but it's been really rare. There's been a few times this weekend when my trip was entirely in the green. I couldn't believe it. And I didn't have to slow way down, or gun it and beat yellows either. Just my normal rate of speed.
There's one intersection, Court crossing Congress, where I almost never hit it green. It is really strange how often I hit it green. Maybe one out of a dozen or so times, I might hit it green. What is odd, is that Court seems to be the busier street, yet I always hit it with a red light and have to wait for a lot of non-existent traffic on Congress - but not this weekend. I've hit it green every time. Maybe four or five times this weekend. I've been really surprised. I don't know why, but I'm happy while it lasts.
BTW, if you're the biddie who was driving 5 mph under the speed limit in front of me for four blocks and then blew the stale yellow with me fuming behind you, I hope your car radio gets stuck on a rap station with the volume up high!
