Red lights at the 102 on-ramp are just plain fucking brutal. The fucking light stays red for what seems like 5 minutes, traffic is backed up and there is close to no oncoming traffic. There has got to be something fucked up in the system somewhere.
I hope this gets fixed sometime. I know I can’t be the only person who noticed this. I hate those fucking lights. And the luck I have is just wonderful! Every fucking morning as I pull out of Tims with my coffee, on my way to work, the it fucking turns red; and I sit and wait… and wait… and wait… FUCK!! —Early Morning Anger Man

Sometimes I think the fuckers paint them red – I wish to hell they’d put a flashing green arrow for those turning on to the Prospect Road from the Bay Road – that’s been my bugaboo for the last 15 years.
lights are usually timed in a sequence, but sometimes, they do take too long. others just seem to be on then off, nice ones they are.
early morning anger man hmm isn’t that a tune by gordon lightfoot ? 🙂
That’s because the city engineers are useless when it comes to traffic lights. In the 30+ years driving here, I have yet to come across any coordinated lights.
I think it’s because the traffic at kearney lake road is really heavy. TRY and get out from the petro can and it’s a nightmare.
I think the bottleneck comes from the tim’s though because the backup on parkland isn’t really all that bad.
“early morning anger man” thanks martym
If the timing seems way off as you suggest OP, call 490-4000, get a couple of friends to do it too. At the very least they’ll send a summer student there to do counts and timing checks.
It’s those Keebler elves inside the lights. They took up part time jobs as traffic light operators during the recession because no one was buying their cookies and the mortgage on their tree factory is up for renewal.
