Too Many Yellow Traffic Lights

After living in the state of Oregon for the better part of two years, I have come to the conclusion that there are too many Yellow traffic lights in this state. We have, Steady Round Yellow Traffic lights, We have steady Yellow Arrow traffic lights and we have blinking Yellow traffic light Arrows. These yellow lights are driving me crazy. You never know what the driver in front of you is going to do when they approach an intersection that has one of these yellow lights glowing. Will the driver stop? Will the driver make a left turn? Will the drive go through the intersection? Its like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun !!!
In its never ending effort to protect all its citizens from any harm and simultaneously give all its citizens the complete freedom to do whatever they want, the state of Oregon has created a crazy quilt of Yellow Traffic lights. I don't know for sure but I am willing to bet that the only ones benefiting  from all these yellow lights are the police officers and townships that get to issue yellow light tickets and collect traffic fines.

1955 with the Internet

I have finally figured out what Portland OR and the areas around them are. They are a small town in the 1950's but they have the internet. Its actually a very appealing combination of small town 1950's America living but with 21st Century advantages. The rub comes when the 21st century begins to try to speed up the 1950's. It's like watching the Leave It To Beaver show, but having it play in forwardness all the time.
Also living in this time warp makes you begin to think that we can actually solve all our social ills by simply ignoring them, as if society will simply outgrow its problems as if they were phases of maturing.
