A lonely crossing light may still be synchronized with the intersections ahead and behind.

  That doesn't explain why that choice was made.

    In general, traffic light synchronization is very important to optimize street capacity, but it depends on heuristics limited by the sensor, modelling, programming etc. resources.

      Yes, but you say it like it's an inherent issue rather than a design choice. Dutch systems are very smart with these things.

        Yes, you can answer why questions on so many levels, e.g. "Because the designers were not Dutch." ;-)
