I usually drive College Rd. from 17th street extension to New Center every morning about 5:30 AM. The flashing red and yellow lights made the commute much quicker- stop at red, look both ways, then proceed. Slow through the yellows & watch for people going through the flashing red. No problems for many years. This week the lights are no longer flashing. Stop at red, wait even though there's no one coming, proceed, get caught at next red, wait, see one car coming out of side street, proceed, etc. My commute takes longer but even worse all that stopping, sitting and starting is wasting fuel. Oh well, gas prices are down again, I guess saving energy is just so passe'.
