I fail to see why the government spent so many millions fixing up so called "computerized traffic lights" when traffic police start manning junctions and blowing away whistles, allowing traffic to move when the light is red and stopping it when the light is green. If at all the police think this is a better way to handle traffic, then perhaps we should revert to the fifties when traffic police stood on oil drums in the middle of junctions directing traffic. It would definitely save the people a lot of money that way, doing away with traffic lights, computers and electricity costs. Besides, oil drums are cheap and being able to recycle them would help to conserve lots of resources for the nation.
