No Traffic Lights Vs Traffic Lights

On Monday 25th January 2010 there was a power cut in Auckland.

During the power cut we filmed this intersection (Union St + Wellington). We filmed again at exactly the same time the next day for a comparison.

Oops! Nice spotting. I just checked a calendar and it was Monday 25 January ... so the video is wrong.

Proof that left to their own devices, without regulations and restrictions, people can pretty much look after themselves.

Republic Works because of non-working traffic lights, even those NZ is not a Republic? WTF? And if someone don't like systems of control, then why sign up to Youtube, go to Uni etc etc

Power cut is on the left. With no traffic lights it's often observed that traffic flow improves. The traffic on the road below is the same on each side, so it would be safe to assume the videos were taken at different times.

In 2009 A place in the UK called Portishead got rid of all of their traffic lights as an experiment to see if it would improve their constant traffic problems. the trial was so successful they got rid of them completely, and still do not have any. /watch?v=vi0meiActlU

Wild! Won't work in NYC! Chaos occurs without signals. Be here in a blackout.
