How in the frick do they ever allow this light to malfunction, and on a Friday afternoon no less.

No police directing traffic either.
C’mon Sid! Make it happen!

That was normal in BR even in the 90s. Tigerland to the apartment complex off of Highland/Duplantier was nearly a half hour drive at the wrong time.

Damn! That's probably the worst possible light when it works.. I am sure there will be a few wrecks.

It’s the whole city. Bluebonnet/Siegen too. Naturally on a Friday afternoon when traffic is already awful. Gotta love it!

Knowing the city, they probably don’t have anyone available on a Friday afternoon to fix them.

"Directing traffic"?

On multiple occasions I've watched as a police car was parked right by an intersection with the traffic light out waiting for a driver to frick up the now four way stop so they could issue a ticket. They would rather wait for an accident so they could cite the the driver at fault rather than direct traffic in an effort to avoid an accident in the first place.

Serve the people? fricking serve them a summons.

Do you even Balis Drive behind the Walmart, bruh?

There are also neighborhood streets you can cut through on the other side of Perkins.

Intersections I’ve seen that are out so far:
- Burbank and Lee
- College and Perkins
- Siegen and I-10 (both sides of I-10)
- Siegen and Highland

Also mentioned in this thread:
- Bluebonnet
- Government
- Florida
- Essen
- Nicholson

This is a clusterfrick of epic proportions.
