Dave, I don't know where you're getting these old photos, but keep 'em coming.

Probably better traffic control with a human making decisions rather than an electric timer.

Just think of all the gas we could save when there's virtually no traffic and you could keep on moving and not having to stop and then start again wasting fuel!!!

I don't know about that, NK. Seems to me that if you really want to screw up traffic at an intersection, have a cop out there directing traffic.

If the cop really knows how to manage the traffic flow, it is always better.

That seems like it would be a REALLY boring job... And especially unpleasant in bad weather!

The new word for a police officer directing traffic is.... Target!
