I personally think all the traffic lights out there are meant to waste our time.
In most occasions, we will need to press this stupid big silver circular button to cross the road “safely”. However, have you ever notice that it takes a hell lot of time to stop the car before signaling pedestrian to cross?
Most of the time, after pressing the button and seeing not much cars are passing through, we will just “jay walk” to the opposite. Immediately, after we’ve reached the opposite, then will the green man started to light up. And what? All the cars are stopping for no pedestrian at all.
What both the pedestrian and drivers will be thinking at that point in time?
Pedestrian: “Wah lau eh!!! Crossed finish liao den green man pop out…”
Drivers: “Wah piang eh!!! Another red light….not even a pedestrian is crossing the road lor… this people ah, wanna jay walk den don’t press the damm button lah!!!”
Passengers (beside the driver): “Suck it lor… aiya… stop awhile only….” (They can’t give too many comments because they are also one of those pedestrian)
Awwww…. it wasted the time of both drivers and the pedestrian… and somehow, our lives still suck with the fact of having this “insensible” traffic light.
PS: I'm not saying that we should not have traffic light... I just feel that the traffic lights should be re-programmed in such a way that benefits all…
