Why?
There is no easy answer to the question, "why?", but I guess this blog is borne out of sheer frustration. You know those surveys someone always refers to that shows how much time we waste at work? For example, how much time is spent on the internet, at the watercooler, etc. Do any of those surveys reveal how much of my life is spent behind the wheel staring at a light that refuses to change? There has got to be one out there somewhere.
Wait! I know where it is! Sitting on the passenger seat of some poor shmoe's car who is stuck behind a light that is taking forever to change!
I am not attempting to make a change here, just blowing off steam. You can too, by posting your thoughts on this mess. The Citizens of Raleigh have spoken, as they on a bond act that will synchronize all of the lights in Raleigh. More on that later. For now, here are my five top ten worst traffic lights in Raleigh. Please let me know where others are, so we can avoid them!
Top Five Worst Lights In Raleigh:
1. Creedmoor Road (Highway 50) and Interste I-540
2. Any traffic light on Capitol Boulevard!
3. Any traffic light in Raleigh
4. Wake Forest
5. New Hope Church Road @ Louisburg Road (401)

I agree with everything you said! Right on!
You are a DORKFISH!!
Funny! My husband and I are with you! We have been to third world countries that don't have traffic lights but the people there know right of way. In a weeks time in Cambodia we didn't see one accident and they have very few traffic lights to waist their time.
We specifically can't stand the lights on New Bern southbound. The one you have to wait at to get onto 440. We have waisted countless hours waiting for the light to turn green when little or NO traffic is coming! There are similar cases all over Raleigh.
Another annoying thing about Raleigh's traffic lights is that they don't even set the lights to blink late at night at intersections that are less traveled. So there you sit at 1 A.M. waiting for the stupid light to turn green. Ridiculous!
Okay that's my rant.
I feel better now.
