Are people really praising this? I guess fuck the engineers who did a traffic study, and fuck the school children walking in that area from 7-7:30 I guess.
Did you just invent a school zone to make an argument? What would the hypothetical civil engineers have to say after running countless hours of simulations on imagined children?
We have no idea why the sign was the way it was. They gave us no background. So I’m biased against the sign changer until given a good argument as to why it was acceptable.
Which government? Makes a big difference since some other better than others.
I’m not saying OOP definitely had no legitimate reason to change the sign, but without knowing, we can’t assume they did either.
The fact they made no mention of it, leads me to suspect it was mostly for their personal convenience.
Also, government = inefficient is some neo-lib propaganda I can’t tolerate. Any organisation can be inefficient (so, so, so many examples of this in the private sector), and governments can and must be set up to be well-run. The alternative is the privatised neo-lib hellscape we (countries in general) continue to not fix.
Uh… all I said was that I worked for the government. You’re just making up your own little world over there, aren’t you?
This argument is moot since I can’t anticipate everything you’re gonna think up in imagination land. Kinda hard to argue against things no one said.
to be fair on traffic engineers timing lights we have verifiable proof that sometimes adding roads can actually increase taffic (and that removing them can decrease it) And this information is not always taken into account on a high level so they get stuck trying to fix an innately flawed system.

How is life like being a lawful good little paladin? I break rules that don’t apply to me. This guy seems to have broken rules that apply to no one.
You’re the guy saying the victim should have complied with the cop that murdered him.

I’m biased because I’ve worked for the government.

Or, hear me out, maybe the sign was just wrong. If they haven’t catch up in almost a year that was probably the case.
Just because a traffic engineer has qualifications doesn’t necessarily guarantee they’re not an asshole who is wrong and also sucks.
