>>1693895>old mechanical timersI used to go to a community college and there was a particularly awful 5-cycle stoplight I had to go through on the way home at 8pm. It was set up so that the two right lanes slid directly into the next road but you couldn't turn right on red, so I had to wait for the stoplight to cycle through the other ones, including a shopping center outlet that was absolutely dead by that time of night. When they finally changed to the "smart" cycle later that semester, it not only made getting at night painless, but it cut daytime backed-up traffic by a good 30%.
