This might have been alluded to in another message about Red Lights. Isn't it true the stop lights in Minneapolis are timed to specifically make people spend the maximum amount of time stopped so they will want to use mass transit ? I seem to recall that the reason most of the major streets were converted from 4 lane to 2 lane was related to high density housing and mass transit. If the stop lights in Minneapolis were timed to allow efficient movement of vehicles a tremendous amount of fuel would be saved.
I would be thrilled to participate in a citizens project to mathematically prove that the stop lights in Minneapolis are designed to maximize the amount of time spent going nowhere. I have vast experience in software and hardware engineering to accomplish this. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
