        <description><![CDATA[as we have watched computerization eliminate millions of jobs in America and the onslaught electronic toys to give people something to do in their increasing &quot;spare&quot; time, how about an app for the traffic department that has lights change only if there are drivers waiting at a red light on side streets; if ya wanna save fuel. Also, how about huge tickets to the spill-backers (those people who get too pushy and end up stopped in the intersection whilst they are &quot;beating&quot; the red light?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[...you _*MUST*_ take traffic behind you into account.  Other people want to make that green light you just went through, so you can't lay off the gas and coast just because the next light is still red.  Doing so clogs up the road and causes grief for everyone else.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Funny, the first thing I thought of was people slowing down so that they would arrive after the light turns green, not the other way around! Even if they were to speed up for one light, they would likely level out to a slightly under-the-limit speed in order to continue through greens.The biggest problem, I think, is that this works best if there's no other traffic. Better would be a universal system to manage routes so that no route gets too congested.]]></description>
