And not only that, but about 10% of all traffic is useless, and would, can be taken away.

Negligence on the road causes accidents. That says at least a number of verkeersdeskundigen in truth, The half of the road checks the installations barely, whereas those things three times a card, a check should receive. So it must be checked if the lights do, but it is also comforting to know that a traffic light should be adjusted because, for example, the situation on the road has changed.

But why bad maintenance than for accidents? That I will explain.
If, for example, on a busy crossroads the traffic lights not are adjusted properly, people often have to wait too long. This creates the risk that the road user is tired and the decision by red to drive. And that is mainly for cyclists dangerous. The experts think that a better adjustment of the traffic lights leads to a decrease of the number of accidents. Incidentally, it is also superslecht for man and animal to be still for to long. Something with CO2 from idling engines, etc.

The reason of the poor maintenance, of course, is very clear; it will cost too much money. The verkeersdeskundigen think that better maintenance understand quite a lot of money will generate. “Both for the verkeersgebruiker, as well as for the administrators,” says one of the experts in the newspaper, “I’m guessing that about 5 to 10 percent of the traffic is useless and can be removed.” That makes a difference for the economy, but also the road itself. Because, every traffic light that you remove, does not need to be checked. Easy, isn’t it?

And less traffic lights would be nice. Because all we are waiting are getting shorter for a light, even shorter is always better. And maybe we should but threatening to the traffic lights, are now free to operate. Is maybe a funny pressure!
