Traffic Lights from Hell
- I do not like these traffic lights; I do not like them or their heights.
- I do not like them I will say; I do not like them any way.
- I do not like them in the night; I do not like them when it’s light.
- I do not like them I’ll tell you; my hate for them is overdue.
- I do not like these traffic lights; so I’ll write about them on my sites.
I seriously can’t stand Milwaukee’s street lights. You know someone’s passionate about something when they bust out some Dr. Seuss rhyming to describe their dislike for it. Not only do the layouts of the light systems fail completely in their attempt to make any sense but they also don’t manage teh city’s traffic effectively at all. The last time I checked, those two things were pretty important when you were talking about a traffic light system.
All of the lights also lack any consistency with one another throughout the city. I don’t think that this could just be classified as a “pet-peeve” either since this issue could potentially wind up with people dead. The real issue at hand comes down to the fact that, at night, the regular traffic lights are disabled and they turn into a blinking system where some are yellow and some are red. Some intersections have a four-way stop and some others have a two-way stop and two-way caution. If you’re going through either one of these intersections, you do not know what color the adjacent lights are. Does the other person crossing the intersection have yellow or red lights? Should I wait and risk looking like a fool because they have to stop or should I go ahead and possibly get T-boned? Why am I the only one that has noticed this strange problem? Why!? TELL ME!
People around here can barely drive as it is without being aided by an inconsistent traffic light system. It’s also an extra reason for these people to have to think and we certainly want to avoid that at all costs!
Some people have tried to convince me that the system works just fine and that I’m just being overly-critical. Of course, these people are not only wrong and suck at life but they’re also the type of people who like to disagree simply for the sake of disagreeing. Here is a made up version of something they would say:
What are you talking about? The lights aren’t that bad. They only assist in driving up the automobile accident percentage by a significant number and will absolutely kill someone one of these days. What’s so wrong about an occasional death here and there? Why are you so critical?
Dumb, huh? That’s basically the argument, stripped down to the bone, so its ineptitude can be seen. It isn’t hidden by their useless and propaganda-esque drivel.
Stop trying to argue against it so you can make yourself feel like you’re smart and that you matter! Because you don’t and no one cares that you can make yourself heard for the sake of exercising your right to be an imbecile. You’re tying two granny knots with a loop and it ain’t happenin!
I suppose the purpose of this rant is two-fold. Not only do I hate Milwaukee street lights but I also hate people who try and argue against things for the purpose of trying to capture other people’s attention. I do not like these people and would not be very upset if they were in the accidents caused by the aforementioned, stupid-ass traffic lights.
