Traffic signals are a part of modern society. So suck it up.

@deilax You see a thing work that is counter intuitive and you use the same thought process that is disproved by what you are seeing? Good deep thoughtfulness you display here!

@JauntyMellifluous have you seen the state of the cars etc in turkey, i lived over there for 8+months and pretty much ever car had a dent, and you see bumps and crashes most days.

@250Trojan Also there's the false sense of security that traffic lights create. The lights kind of give the idea that they're doing all the safety stuff for the drivers so the drivers don't have to do it themselves, when that's far from the truth. Without the traffic lights, drivers are forced to use their initiative to cross the junction safely and so the chance of a crash due to driver carelessness is reduced. To put it simply, traffic lights can have the opposite effect to that desired.

Part 1: Roads unfit for peopleby mjcassini14,864 views
this just goes to prove, if you let people get on with their own thing society works far better... if you have governments who use violence to tell everyone what to do, you end up with fascist governments & tyranny.

@stevebloodymckenna You think like a child. You seem to be unable to grasp that in this scenario THERE IS NO RIGHT OF WAY FOR ANYBODY! Perhaps YOU would behave like a spoiled, destructive, narcissistic ass but how many of YOUR countrymen and women do you see behaving as YOU claim others will? Perhaps it is YOU that needs some growing up? Study anarchy, not chaos, anarchy.
