They are supposed to smooth the traffic coming onto freeways during heavy traffic periods. They nearly never do. Often they just back up traffic on the surface streets leading to the on ramp. The on ramp lights are often: 1. On when traffic on the freeway is light 2. "meter on" light is on while the red/green meter light is actually off 3. Off when freeway traffic is heavy 4. Light on when the "meter on" light is off Add in that most drivers have no clue how to deal with them. Carpool lanes are often exempt from stopping, but drivers always stop for it. If it's a "two car per lane per green" light, there will never be two going through. It's either one or three. LA is such a patchwork of signal and road types, and rules that the best thing that could happen is a big 9.0 earthquake destroys a large part of the road infrastructure and we have to start over with everything standardized. Several freeways are so bad that they need to be shut down and rebuilt from the ground up instead of being patched together every 5-10 years. ltr fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Jan 17, 2014 |
