Traffic Lights

I was on my way to work last night, and as I am on nights, I get to park at the police station. So there I was, driving through Oxford, and I got thinking...........there are rather a lot of sets of traffic lights.


The distance from the M40, to the police station, is 9 miles, give or take the odd inch and do you know how many sets of lights I have to pass through???? On the way into Oxford, 25!!!!!!! On the way out, I do slightly better, there are only 23. This includes two pedestrian crossings whose default setting is red, that's red for cars and pedestrians.


So Oxford city council is always going on about the pollution levels in the city centre, so much so, that after banning everything but buses and taxis between 7.30am and 6pm, they would prefer that we all sat at a red traffic light, engine running, adding to the pollution, while no-one crosses the road.

I ask you!

When I was searching the web for a picture of traffic lights, I had to choose this one, as it has a first bus in it!!!
