This morning all of the traffic lights were out in the area around Emory University (where I live). Better yet, the only police on the scene seemed to be intent on driving through the intersections as many times as possible without stopping to help direct traffic.
OK, so that sucks, but it happens everywhere. I know. The difference here is that this same thing happened less than two weeks ago. So in the midst of a beautiful spring day Atlanta drivers were forced to suffer more than usual. It gets worse.
Since people in Atlanta have NO IDEA HOW TO DRIVE, no one knew what to do at each intersection. Half of the people drove straight through. A quarter of the people drove into the intersection, blocked cars traveling across the intersection, and then proceeded through anyway. The final quarter of the people were so confused by what they were seeing that they just stopped and let several cars through before continuing.
IF A TRAFFIC INDICATOR IS OUT, TREAT THE INTERSECTION AS IF IT WERE A FOUR WAY STOP. C'mon, folks. This is madness.
Because the services in Atlanta wouldn't suffice in a town half its size, and because the people don't understand very simple traffic principles, I hate Atlanta.
