Whatever initially occurred between the two drivers, it's hard to watch. East Texas is typically known for mannerly behavior--relatively speaking, at least.
For as long as many of us can remember, it's been red, yellow, green. Granted, in some places, you see a separate part of the light that shows protected greens or yellow or whatever. But generally, the 3-color combo is what we've known.
Now, whether some people in the Dallas and Tyler, Texas area actually understand what those colors MEAN is another conversation entirely. Yeah, we're looking at you, yellow light speeder-uppers! (That's a technical term, of course.)
No one likes sitting in traffic so, one Texas city is looking at flying folks over it.
Yep, that's the plan. The city of Plano, about 20 miles north of Dallas, can't figure out how to get through or around traffic congestion so they're trying to bring in some super, high tech gondolas...
When I hear 'gondola,' I imagine serenading men in striped shirts and hats paddling me thru the watery passages of Venice. But, these are quite different.
Their official name is pneumatic road tubes.
These tubes are flexible rubber tubes stretched across a roadway. They work by compressing air as vehicles pass over them. Pressure change reveals much information as it is sent to data collection devices.
We all understand why traffic tickets must be issued. The safety of everyone on the roads in Texas needs to be protected. That doesn't make it any easier when we are on the receiving end of a nice fat traffic ticket.
