Just read traffic lights may be getting a fourth colour added to them. what the f*** do we need the expense of a fourth colour for ( surmising what iv,e read is true )
-
I find that funny, as due to a strange colour blindness, I have often seen green traffic lights as blue. So I have had four colour traffic lights all my life!! :o ;D ;D ;)
-
I thought only blokes were (properly) colour blind. Well, 8% of them. Including me :(
I vote all traffic lights are bloody well banned. Especially on roundabouts (islands for you northerners). What a stupid idea.

It's only for when the number of fully autonomous vehicles exceeds the number of piloted vehicles at a junction. Mooted by some egghead in America. As there are no fully autonomous vehicles on British roads, I wouldn't worry, Ray, you'll be well past driving before this takes effect.

Ah, that is now a long story!! ::) ::) ;D
After the long hospital stay, now the recovery, I am getting bored. So I thought I would break my self imposed “holiday”;from General Chat and contribute to a non-confrontational thread ( ::) ::) >:D >:D ;)) to “do” something ;D ;D

There is one make currently on Spanish roads but they are only motorways and the car has to be equipped with the tech to spot driver is alert.
We drove for forty minutes on some minor roads today and not a white line down either side or in the middle. Mostly not wide enough for two Tesla’s to pass. If they did then branches or weeds would strafe the side of the cars!

Glad you're over the worst, Lizzie. :-*
General Disrespect seems to have calmed down a bit lately.
Of course, that could be because you weren't around ;D ;D

I like the Turkish traffic light system , they actually count down to them turning green , every change is like an F1 start ;D

The French temporary lights do the same

Try sitting at the traffic lights in the city centre of Saigon, in the middle of a swarm of mopeds where everyone is closely watching the countdown! :o ;D
-
Welcome back Lizzie.
Is there a link to this or is it social media or maybe flashing orange to turn if no traffic?
-
I like the idea they use in Spain/Portugal where they turn traffic lights to flashing amber outside of rush hour then everyone just uses the road as normal, no sitting at traffic lights for 4 mins while no cars pass through. Noticed in spain the green crossing man lights up into a walk mode, and then near the end the wee green man starts jogging, quite right bloody peds lol get out the way!

Only seen one set of lights driving around Gran Canaria yesterday, and that was in Las Palmas. ;D
That said, some of the driving was pretty horrific :o
-
I spend most of my life sat at red lights giving way to fresh air...
-
Cant see how it will make a differance with having an extra colour on the lights. So many retards around nowdays who just ignore them anyway
If any political party wanted to make a serious contribution to road safety, EVERY set of lights would have a camera mounted on them
Grifter, they do the same thing in Turkey with the flashing amber. They also used to have the count downs when red and also when green

A cynic might suggest that they're linked to average speed cameras... >:D

Yes, perhaps now I can get things going again....... >:D >:D >:D >:D ;D ;D ;)
Dont worry, only joking. My heart wont stand as much stress ever again!! :o :o ;)

Yes, around these parts there are all too many 'red jumpers' , one of which almost collided with me a few months ago ::) ::) >:(
However, I do like the American system of being able to turn right against a red light, unless there is a sign instructing you that you cannot. It certernaly keeps the traffic flowing. ;) But of course in the USA roads are so much bigger generally than ours so you have far more space to drive in. :)

You only need to go as far as French France to be able to turn right on a red ;) ;)

That’s interesting Andy. When I last drove in France in the late 1990’s I did not find a single traffic light junction with that facility………..or is it that the French drive through red lights anyway?! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

It's been about 10 yrs since we've been to France. I couldn't tell you where I saw them, but I came across a few sets of lights where you could turn right on a red. :y Or maybe I just follwed others through the red light ;D Google suggests that you can not turn right on a red in France ::)
you're confusing French with Cyclists ..... ;) ;)
-
Surely if we're to have a fourth light it needs to be rainbow coloured to show how inclusive we all are ::)
-
It would have to be white.
Aside from immediately being racist, any other colour is a combination of the other three and therefore utterly useless.
-
Where I live there is an invisible ray on the way into the town that renders everyone colour blind to red lights.
