Stop, go, stop, go....

Is there any perticular reason why there is an abundence of stoplights in this city? Or is it like that everywhere in the world? There is one on every corner. Especially on Sheriday Dr. Every 2 seconds you get caught at a red light. It takes about a half an hour to drive down a 4 mile stretch of road.

NT is the worst. (or for you non-natives of Buffalo, North Tonawanda). Every crossroad there is a stop sign, left turn signals, blinking lights; you can not proceed through this town with out hitting one light or another. To top it off they decided to make many of the lights "no right on red" which lengthens your trip also. These roads are only 30 mph roads. This really isn't a fast, dangerous speed. Stop signs would be just as good and everyone seems to understand the rules of those by now.

Is the stop light company hurting for business? Are they just putting these things up to keep things rolling at the stop light company? Or is this just a plot to piss people off during their every day travels.
