I got a phone call from a listener this morning. The first thing he said was "you were right, it works!!" He then described how he turns left from West Avenue to Market Street every day and never gets the left-turn-arrow. But yesterday he stopped fifteen feet back (in the second car position) and lo and behold, he got the turn-signal. And, he now totally agrees with me... "Magnetometers are ridiculous!!"
But then he ended our conversation with a question, "well, now what do we do?" My answer was "tell the mayor. If enough of us talk about it, maybe we can finally get it fixed!"
Come to think of it, didn't one of our city engineer's promise us about five years ago that timers were going to be installed over the next few years?
I think they know about it and aren't doing anything...
