Stoplights are alive…and they carry grudges…

You ever notice there are some stoplights that seem to know you’re there? They always seem to respond a bit quicker, move traffic a bit faster, and none of them have one of those control boxes nearby.

Now look at this: it’s a map of laylines for this region, found it on the net. See where they cross intersections here, here, here, here, and here? There’s one of those quick stoplights at each one.

Every other stoplight has a control box, I’ve checked. But wait, it gets even weirder. So the day after I put all these pieces together I’m driving back from work, right? This guy totally cuts me off and flies through the intersection a second after it turns red. I’m in my car fuming and it’s like the light just won’t change.

But a block ahead, I see the arrow turn red and that asshole can’t make his turn. He’s the only one at the light, and our signal’s still not changing. But then his light turns green, and half-way through his turn a semi flies in from the right and rips right through the car! Serious, just like on Real TV!

But here’s what’s weird: both intersections are on the layline, and the semi’s light was still green when the asshole’s arrow changed.

I tell ya, I’m never running a red light again.
