Random Thought: How every American can save gas.
As I was driving to the gym at 5 am Sunday morning, stopped at a red light with a sensor and no cars in any direction… I wondered how much gas is being wasted by poorly timed traffic lights or stop signs when they should be yield signs. Think about how much gas you must use to go from a rest position to the correct speed on the road. A lot.
Then in a cynical way I realized that our local government would never change to improve as they are earning money from:
- Gas Taxes
- Traffic Tickets
- Small town America forcing people to stop as they are the only light in the county
- Costs money to city
What does that leave us?
Time for a good idea to spread, improve traffic flow, be more intelligent, and do it right not fast and easy!
