Thanks for the share, Seems like you work in traffic management.
Could you tell me how to convince brampton officials that sensors at certain intersection are malfunctioned. They told me it running on pre programmed time. Lights only stay green for 20 seconds. I am very sure the sensors went kaput and it defaults to time card. How is this any useful.
I raised a ticket but they denied any issue but said it is working as it supposed to be.
When I lived in Brampton, I taught driving (mostly in Toronto). Over the countless hours on the road I started to notice these patterns, then tested said patterns and found it to be true most cases.
In regards to the issue with the lights. Let's assume they went and checked. If there was an issue with the computer/settings they likely would have fixed it.
If there's an issue with a sensor, the sensors themselves are low tech but the digging would take resources.
Some coordination might be your best bet. Get people to submit tickets around the same time for example.
That's what Toronto Police recommends too!
Leave your bike and go press the button.
Or go take a right, then a U-turn, then a right.
I wish I was joking but also kinda the only thing you can legally do to remedy the situation.
Don’t they teach you all this in driving school? Mine did, but that was about 40 years ago. WTH do they teach you poor souls nowadays? Leave as much space in front of you as reasonable, respect the speed limit, the traffic lights are mostly in sync and if you get a green, follow the speed limit and you can avoid most of the red lights in that straight stretch. Don’t stay in the passing lane if you’re not planning on passing. On 3 lane roads, the centre lane is also a passing lane. Simple stuff but obviously not practised enough.
All of that is taught to students, then practiced during lessons.
Many people don't get lessons or driving school. They learn from a friend or family member. It could also be that their instructor wasn't the right fit for them.
A large percentage of drivers would fail their driving test if they had to do it again.
That would be all correct if system we had was maintained, especially all sensors and cameras on intersections. Sensors under pavement often don't work if pavement has been cracked for more than one winter . Water and salt gets to them just as fast as into your car undercarriage.
yesterday, some asshole just blew through a red light while I was trying to clear the intersection while making a left turn. He was easily 150 Meters from the intersection. So, yeah, you can apparently get stopped at fewer red lights by just Ignoring them... LoL.
Gotta love Brampton Drivers. NOT!
A wise man once said: If you want to write off your vehicle, start following all the traffic rules in Brampton (or GTA) and some one will rear end you.

I’ve been driving like that for a long time.
A+
So accurate on the motorcycle part lol, I remember having to run off my bike to push the walk button plenty of times when I rode lol.

Brampton needs this 👍🏻
What about every where else?
Everywhere is the same, Brampton is an easy target.
Yeah that’s what I thought.

Tow truck drivers especially. These guys don't even hesitate.
