Pick one

Thanks to Dan for posting this on Facebook, I've never seen a stop light this screwed up

rip off traffic cameras in the UK

from the thread http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/england-cobra-club/123025-ripped-off-uk.html

I've got a picture of me 'driving' a Cobra that was sent from the Office of Speeding Fines (whatever). It was a right-hand drive Cobra so I was the passenger. The fact I didn't have a steering wheel in my hands didn't bother the money collectors....

reading between the lines, the red light cameras were all about the money to the cities, not safety concerns

from the San Diego newspaper, the Union Tribune

As any revolutionary or history of overthrowing an oppressor will relate, you will see changes and improvements when things become too expensive (ever read the MYTH series by Asprin? http://www.mythadventures.net/index.html )

"traffic calmed"? what was it before? Riots and speed demons? Seriously who thought up this BS?

Funniest thing I've seen all week, a guy impersonating a traffic camera doesn't realize he's annoyed the cops, til they back up to nab him

Found on Facebook

A garage that has more cool stuff than most, and nothing less than cool

A tire mount and balance tool box originally

A tool store display of taps and dies

the sign a vehicle had to display if it were being operated by a newly licensed driver, to warn all the other traffic that it's not as experienced on the road

The above are on shelves, that are really Model T running boards. Isn't that awesome?!

Not many Rickenbackers were made

Possibly a carnival sign?

road signs in a storm... get bouncy

Would you wait til it stopped bouncing before going under it? I would. Metal fatigue you know.

cool unusual New York traffic signals

found digging through http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/

Traffic lights, a brief bit of true but funny history

The above light is made for quick easy identification by anyone who can see shapes, or colors. Particularly in the case of color blind people.

The 1st traffic light ever made exploded, killing the cop that was operating the lever to direct it's light in the right direction. Jan 2nd 1869 was the day, and natural gas vapor was the source of the flame that made the lights visible... no electricity, nothing but a torch behind a colored lens.

The first traffic light in Ireland (1890's) was placed near the oldest pub in Europe (900 AD) because the first car in Ireland was owned by the pubs frequent patron, and he was Ireland's first drunk driver.

But the best idea in traffic lights is a light that has a time indication of when it will switch to green http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/04/two-good-ideas-id-like-to-see-in-world.html
