This is similar to a project that began in Drachten, Holland The removal of traffic lights at one major intersection saw accidents fall from 36 in four years to two over the next two years, and the average time for vehicles moving through the intersection fell from 50 seconds to 30 seconds, despite a rise in the volume of traffic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drachten#Traffic_experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drachten#Traffic_experiment
