This is really beautiful! Yes, there is some ridiculous bureacracy on the coasts and in the larger cities, but the constitution and its amendments are non-negotiable and it's awesome to see that not only did he win his court case, but made history with his new traffic light formula! Bravo!!! |

"the formula used to time traffic lights and realized it didn’t take into account that drivers making turns need to slow down to safely navigate the intersection" Not only that -- there are many other reasons why you might enter the intersection after the light turns yellow and still be in it when it turns red. - you've just pulled out of a parking space or driveway and have not yet accelerated - you're going to pull into a parking space or driveway on the other side of the intersection - there's stopped traffic on the other side of the intersection, but space for you to stop behind it, clear of the intersection - you're going significantly slower than the speed limit because you're on a bicycle, scooter, tractor etc - you're simply driving significantly slower than the speed limit |

Incredible win! Not many would go to these lenghts to do what he did, especially fighting against such absolutist institutions. Good that justice was truly served. |
