Too long ago now to remember.<br />When I lived in Chicago, I was introduced to the Texas Rolling Stop: slow down appraoching a stop sign, but don't really stop all the way, then accelerate because there is no cross traffic.viridianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938256248645774087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389669289904198220.post-33901321659243975712010-02-05T12:19:38.790-05:002010-02-05T12:19:38.790-05:00Very interesting.

I can't imagine they managed without any before the three colour lights were installed!<br /><br />We have an extra combination of lights in the UK, when both the red and amber are showing at once. It still means stop, but indicates that the green will soon appear.Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389669289904198220.post-34910419158579224292010-02-05T08:55:54.642-05:002010-02-05T08:55:54.642-05:00I really enjoyed this post (and the cards) on the ...I really enjoyed this post (and the cards) on the three color traffic lights.
