The Social Contract: You rob me, build a road, I use the road, you tell me i owe you for the road.

I think that that is where they got the idea, They notice less congestion and fewer accidents and someone said 'Hmmmmm.

This might not work in Manhattan or inside the Chicago loop

Next time the power goes out in your town, just go to the nearest busy intersection wherever you are, and just look. You will be surprise Americans are the same.

0:33 What model is this first car? P.S. From what I've heard, traffic lights reduce pedestrian safety.

[truefictions]

5 stars.

[dathribab]

you are right i think. American drivers believe that pedestrians belong either running out of the way, or being dragged under their car. They would rather kill someone than be a little more patient.

I don't think this would ever work in America. That being said a lack of traffic lights forces one to be more cautious, when you're being more cautions you can make more logical "human" decisions. Americans are too entitled for this in my opinion, it's a different culture. But who knows, I'd love to be proved wrong.

No, road maintenance is a largely necessary multi-billion industry. Traffic (mis-)management is a separate, largely unnecessary multi-billion industry
