Time to eliminate traffic signals. We're all grown up
now and we can certainly drive. we definitely know better than any traffic
expert how traffic ought to flow. besides the lights are never timed correctly
anyway.
1Don't stop.
arrive at an intersection, if no one is moving, accelerate through as fast as possible with a look of anxious concentration (you are too busy or too important to stop at anything as trivial as a red light - the ruling class)
unfortunately you are stopped at a red light, but you're in front. Just keep rolling until the light changes or you are so far into the intersection drivers with a green light stop to let you go
the slave class. after the light turns green, slaves wait until all the ruling class have gone through the red light first. (my daughter's driving instructor advised her to count to 10 before going through a green light. what next? count to 100?)
2just wave.
the magnanimous ruler. No matter who has the right of way, you stop and wave other drivers in front of you. this is especially effective in 5 way intersections with at least two minor tributaries (one with a Yield sign) when you are ahead of 10 other irate drivers who can see you have the right of way but persist in stopping. Of course rush hour is the prime time of execution, but other times serve as well. Often can be more effective when no one is behind you. The other driver is forced to go ahead. (Although I once witnessed a waving contest between two rulers - quite amusing until someone behind me honked and the last waver won.)
