Since my letter to you regarding the problem of non-synchronized traffic lights on U.S. 27, I have also read about other people who have witnessed the same problem. Now as I understand, a mandate has been issued by the leaders in our country to conserve energy, i.e. gas, diesel, electricity and countless other things. I have noticed in the recent past that many times I have had to stop from light to light for three times in a row. Then, me and many others sit and idle away precious and dearly costing fuel.

Now I've heard the saying, "We don't care how you did it up north," but I can take you to a street there where they have eight lights in a row and if you make one green and drive the speed limit, you'll make them all on green. Let's all pull together and get with the program.
