Exactly. I can sorta understand the argument that if the intersection has lights then this street needs one too even if it's always red, but for me the real WTF was
if one red light costs €5,500 yearly, how much are we (over)paying for the whole system?
- briandear 10y agoExactly why I have a resistance to government 'solutions' when it comes to anything beyond constitutional basics. Governentnt is rarely more efficient than the free market/private sector. Those jackasses actually have the green and amber light bulbs included in the maintenance.. those bulbs got replaced as well. €5500 yearly -- even if a guy got paid €100 per hour, how could a a single light require that much expense? Is someone inspecting and maintaining it on a daily basis? Concierge traffic light service?
