I’m sure if you would have asked, he would have been happy to hold your hand while you crossed the street.

less likely if the traffic signal poles are just straight up vs hang over the street. In the West, may light signals are to the side of the intersection on straight up poles, vs hanging over the intersection. Less cluttered intersections- though I have no idea if less/more safe.

This subthread has made me giggle. But also wonder why some things have changed in mind-numbing radical ways that I never imagined (computers, cameras, phones, internet, music distribution, the polar icecaps, the Arab revolution, the price of automobiles) and then other things are the same old, same old (telephone wires, traffic signals, children, CSD–just kidding!) We can’t virtually project traffic signals on intersections yet? What happened to that zebra projection on Ponce buildings thingamajiggy? Or use hovercraft technology so traffic signal boxes don’t need wires, just WiFi? Or put devices in vehicles so that the traffic signals project onto the dashboard? If GPS can tell my aged father how to take dirt roads to avoid current traffic on I-75 around McDonough, it can’t tell him green light, yellow light, red light?

Yes, but spme cities (new orleans) have lights on poles on either side of the intersection.

Wouldn’t it be hard to see the traffic signals if they were underground?
