Its political, Barry. You got to get Govt employees to do their job. There is typically no good reason why traffic lights should be improperly timed.

I think Houston's Mayor was Bill White. And before he was done improving traffic flow, safety and other stuff, he got over a billion $ from the Feds (our tax dollars) to improve things even more there.

This is fairly recent stuff. I think he started in 2004, was mostly done last year, but still has some things on going.

Every second you are needlessly sitting at a traffic light, you are wasting your time/getting 0 MPG/polluting the air/building your road rage/etc.
