re: PSA for the morons. Do not stop at flashing yellow lights. It's not a 4-way stop.

You realize the whole point of a stop light is the colors are really irrelevant, right?

The location of the lights are distinctive enough from far enough distance.


Flashing lights are almost always single lights

How about everyone stop slowing to 45 mph on the interstate in preparation for your exit 2 miles ahead?

The exits always have an off ramp that you use to slow down on AFTER you exit the interstate at standard speed.

And they are all in the same location. Top (left), middle, or third. The flashing green might be the only problem, only because it is rare.

No he is saying the flashing light is the only bulb, not the only one of 3 doing something

Aren't there usually stop signs below the red flashing side?

I'm trying to think of a location that fits an intersection only being controlled by a flashing light.

I think this topic is mainly for malfunctioning lights that default to red flashing.
Not your regular red flashing lights.

The round-abouts in our area of the state are like snake charmers for the ignorant. They become completely mesmerized (and paralyzed) into indecisiveness. It is simultaneously frustrating and fascinating.

speaking of 4 way stops; if you get to the stop sign first then you get to go first. you only defer to the person to your right if you arrive at the same time. These rules apply EVEN IF YOU ARE TURNING LEFT.

You aren't making my day or 'paying it forward' by sitting there and waving me through when it is your turn. it takes much longer and only makes me think less of you as a human.
