I’m pissed off about about late-night traffic lights. Around midnight, many of the lights go to “flashing red” mode, on the assumption that we all go to bed by 11:00 and so the few drivers remaining shouldn’t have to wait the 60 seconds or so that it would take for the traffic lights to cycle. And not just at minor intersections, but major ones like Oxford and Quinpool. This might be fine if we were living in a hamlet of 100 people or so, but this is a CITY, for Pete’s sake! Add to the confusion the students who increase our population each September, and who may never have encountered this strange phenomenon before, and you are looking at opportunities for perfectly avoidable collisions. —Savage Narce

I totally disagree. Maybe 11pm is too early, but sitting at a red at 3am with not a soul on the road is foolishness. Most city’s lights go flashing in their dense areas after a certain time. Also, I believe OP that your 60 seconds is a bit of a hyperbole.
I don’t see the problem.
These banal bitches are enough to send a hummingbird into a coma.
Are you really complaining about this? Have you even seen what traffic looks like downtown after 11:00? Save a few intersections near Drunken Corner there is no one around. Halifax is a city and like many others, after certain times in the evening traffic lights go to four way flashing.
I can’t believe I just wasted two minutes responding to this useless complaint.
Green Light! gotta go!
The vampire population must be higher than I thought…
Stupid!
Speaking of stupid, Ole Lil has begun her campaign. The ONLY mayoral candidate in the world whose suing the city in which she’s running.
We need more flashing lights. I don’t know how many times I’m at a red and nothing around for miles.
Mod, post my fucking bitch already. I’ve submitted 3 of them this summer and they haven’t been posted. Why does this mod still have a job?? Watch this post get deleted along with my account….no fucking wonder so many posters left…
