Some of you may remember those lights in Marietta, Ohio that flashed red three times over green and then went to solid red ... again, they went to the national standard.   Reading PA used to have lights with an indicator that progressed up a clock to tell you how many seconds were left until it went red.


We have walk signals that count down, now. Quite helpful for knowing
how stale a light is. If Carson and 26th looks stale from Sarah and
26th? Yeah, I don't use 26th.
