#StopLights
"You down with TSP?" "Yeah, you know me!" 🎵

CDOT says the bus lane will not debut with Transit Signal Priority, which helps riders avoid getting delayed by stoplights. However, it may happen in the future...

Do not worry the big thick lines in a 4 lane 30 mph road that have worn away with time shall keep you safe from the drivers going 45 miles in between the two stoplights half a mile apart it's like how when they paint a bike on the road it becomes a bike lane

Above the rooftops and stoplights…
The sun wins again against the night…
As she shines her light…

Crossing 250 and 29 at stoplights are pretty much the only times I had to stop moving, otherwise I never feel like I’m “stuck in traffic,” like many of the drivers I see.

Right? And like, I've blown through stopsigns - even a few stoplights - in the course of my life, I'm not making some claim that women are just better drivers. But like, if someone got mad at me for something I DID WRONG, my first instinct is not to threaten to beat them up!

I think I’ve met grandma. They never figure out that there's no point in speeding between stoplights.

New downtown lights and signals are looking good!

It’s going to look so nice when it’s all said and done.

my employer would still be laying people off every quarter regardless of who's in office so I would still be a writhing ball of anxiety. but I would be able to listen to the NPR hourly headlines without screaming, so the other drivers at stoplights would be less frightened

there's plenty of drivers who are fine, but the 15% who aren't really are not and do not belong on the road if they don't know the basics like bikes being able to filter to the boxes in front of cars at stoplights

Getting around: buses get a VIP pass at stoplights. Transit signal priority citywide could give you up to two weeks a year back. SkyTrain to UBC. And a plan to save Mobi and bring it to South Van.

*i wish* people were texting at stoplights instead of at 45 mph
Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop.

But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.

The fact this happens at Chik Fil A should shock us all. Same people probably text at stoplights and make us all miss the light.

There is a system that emergency vehicles can have installed to turn stoplights green in only their direction, the transmitter on the trucks is a flashing white light beam. I think Waymos should have then and we shouldn't mention you can also use a flashlight as a transmitter

Econ 101 in a nutshell.

It causes confusion now. When asked what side of town I live on, I told someone I lived "by the highway"—meaning the interstate—and they interpreted to mean the state highway (the one with stoplights and goes in a different direction).
September 28, 2026 at 6:21 PM
Also, apparently I say "stoplights" instead of "traffic lights."
September 28, 2026 at 6:19 PM
I probably would have rephrased it as something like "the eventual goal of a highway without stoplights."

Look, I never said it's a useful idiolectal feature.

tbh this is why whenever I get a new car I either try to get the best stereo or install one myself if it is possible, on them lonely night drives home from work sometimes you just need 110+ db of music to massage your very soul

Turn it down in neighborhoods and at stoplights though, be respectful
sometimes you really do just need 10000 watt speakers to vibrate every molecule in your body to fix you. feeling a crisp bass growl through you kinda feels like you're a towel having the dirt shaken off it

I sing and dance in the car 100% of the time I'm in the car. It's a "thing." Everyone knows about it. I get talked to at stoplights about it lol.

They’re hard to avoid, but getting through stoplights is sometimes harder than you may think it should be.

Character whose superpower is manipulating chance.

But rather than having endless luck, they have a pool of it that they have to top up by experiencing misfortunes.

They work around it by regularly having stoplights turn red just as they reach them or juuuust missing the train. 1/?

Most cycling advocates support having bike lanes that are separated from car traffic, as well as stoplights that would allow cyclists to turn left before cars start moving. This would limit the likelihood of having situations like you described.
