Dutch Town Removes Traffic Lights!

Globes in Traffic Light

Are Traffic Lights Necessary?


Buy at AllPosters.com

I came across this interesting news item the other day.Traffic planners in the Dutch town of Drachten are conducting an experiment which has seen nearly all the traffic lights removed from the streets!

The idea behind the project known as "Shared Space", is that taking away the lights makes motorists take more care at intersections as they are aware of the greater dangers! It is said that this idea helps  motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to co-exist more happily and safely. If you would like to read the whole article click on this link to the UK Telegraph website

Hmm...what makes me think this approach wouldn`t work in Cyprus?! Perhaps it would make more sense here if we replaced the traditional Traffic lights with a single light that gradually fades from one colour to the next. That would allow drivers more scope for individual interpretation!

    Actually, really works holy hell. I’m still in shock – last evening I was blessed with $348.77 in earnings. I just can’t believe it took me this long to come around.

    This is a message to the admin. I discovered your “Dutch Town Removes Traffic Lights! anthonysdrivingschool.com” page via Google but it was difficult to find as you were not on the front page of search results. I see you could have more visitors because there are not many comments on your site yet. I have found a website which offers to dramatically increase your rankings and traffic to your website: I managed to get close to 1000 visitors/day using their services, you could also get lot more targeted visitors than you have now. I used their services and got significantly more traffic to my website. Hope this helps :) Take care.

    I’ve been surfing on-line more than three hours today, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
