They do, and they’re better than ours. Do you know why?

They never go green?
Romy Thomas
Very good, its the little things.

Well since you asked so nicely…
From a quick glance at that picture we can tell that the lights are about to turn to red “prepare to stop, as they say” because there’s a solitary amber. The lights in UK and NI display amber and green simultaneously when transitioning from red to green “prepare to move off”. Imagine the cumulative time savings, reduced stress, and improved traffic flow were we to adopt this system across the country.
I will never happen though. Not invented here. Perfidious Albion, etc. etc.,

Spartacus- I’m sure the lights in the UK display red and amber simultaneously before turning green. I agree with your point though, it’s a more efficient system and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be adopted here.
Spartacus
You are correct, I am mistaken. I will fall on my sword before the sun has bade this day farewell.
Anne
What’s more efficient about it exactly?
Amber just means you can speed up and dash through before it goes red like, doesn’t it?.
Which I got a few penalty points and an 80 euro fine there one time for.. and no point flashing the baps with the thick fupper who pulled me over either.
Spartacus
It means that when I’m behind you and the lights go green, you’ve had a second or so’s warning (red & amber together), giving you the chance to put your baps away, drop into gear and have your beautifully appointed hand ready on the handbrake lever. Otherwise I’m blowing my horn at your ass.
Joe
It’s efficient because traffic moves off more promptly as the lights turn green. The extra amber light is a warning to get into gear, release handbrake, put away the make up, drop the phone, flick cigarette or whatever else people do at a red light
Anne
oooh jaazus shtop… my hand is always ready to go on the handbrake level.. when in the driving seaaat like.

Am……should we not be looking at the semi-pointless ’41 free spaces’ sign?
And this, my friends, is a perfect illustration of the kind of thinking which is holding our country back from achieving its full potential. Start with a deprecation of traffic light sequencing and before you know it the entire nation is completely infantilised…
Ms Piggy
surely it means free as in no charge, rather than free as in empty?

You haven’t played this before, amirite?

Don’t correct him. It’s how he records his sex life.
They have traffic lights in Enniskillen!
Well, that’s it we’re ALL fupped now!
They do, and they’re better than ours. Do you know why?

I dunno, that’s kinda why I rambled on about the traffic lights… now everyone’s distracted !!!!!!
what are we looking at here?
The 41 free spaces sign, which makes no sense.
I dunno why people are fixating on the amber light.
Me neither.
