I don’t know about anywhere else, but here in Knoxville (I’ve never seen a city with more history or less future) about half the lights are timed to turn flashing red after about 4 seconds. They keep flashing red for a while, but it is annoying.

Foes this happen anywhere else?

As such, this is being moved to the forum Comments on Cecil’s Column.

And, please note, that column was written in 1973.
