Who cares that the city administration is too stupid to put in traffic lights.
Seriously, what a dumb example. The problem has already been solved. My city is full of cars, but there are also enough traffic lights triggered by pedestrian s, hardly a miracle of modern engineering.

Yes, that's why the poster said "in the US they would be roadkill". It's very much a solved problem; the US is notable for not implementing the solutions.
- constantcrying 2y agoIf people lobbying their local government for traffic lights is enough to solve a problem it can't be that relevant.
- ceejayoz 2y agoExcept it often doesn't work that way. NYC was all ready to implement a congestion fee, with years of buildup and $15B in revenue scheduled for use... and the state governor nixed the entire at the eleventh hour by fiat, because out-of-NYC voters who shouldn't have a say don't like the concept.
- constantcrying 2y agoThis seems like a problem which has absolutely nothing to do with traffic. If local governments fail at basic duties missing traffic lights are not the thing you should be worrying about.
