A Two for One Deal

Just when you think you've seen it all or maybe it's just fresh in my mind from having recently written the blog entries today offered a new twist. I wrote about the timing of the traffic lights changing based on location, time of day and traffic. Well this morning the guy at the light across from me waiting to make a left turn did a good job of timing the light and was out in the intersection in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, his red arrow changes to green at the end of the cycle not the beginning so ended up sitting in the middle of the intersection. The other problem is the guy behind him in the turn lane probably expected the first guy to back up out of the intersection, so he didn't pull up to the white line. Now, no one was sitting on the sensor to trigger the light which I  wrote about here. On a positive note both cars were gone an hour later when I went back through that intersection.

Change is happening all around us and often without our knowledge or permission. Things like the toll roads changing to electronic tolls only.  Who agreed to that change? The rental car companies have been making a killing since the switch was made; even though they blame the 

State and everyone but themselves.

Skip the rental car transponders.

You're better off with a Tolltraxx transponder. A one-time $7.50 service fee ($3 of which is refundable) and a $.50 fee per toll. Use it a lot, use it a little, don't use it at all. No daily fees, ever.
