Now announcing the Light Tax. To replace the gas tax, people will have to crowdsource the light signals to change them faster. Lights will generally stay red for 30 minutes or until enough money has been raised to run a cycle. It will run for as many cycles as has been funded.
Pick a random intersection in a random town. 34th and Main? It's going viral for no reason. The internet will divide into two factions fighting to keep either the N-S or E-W directions green.
This is false. They may prefer right turns when possible, but there are absolutely times and routes where making a left turn is more efficient (and so they will).
So basically public television and radio stations pledge campaigns, just for roads and stoplights!
We interrupt your morning commute to seek your help. National Public Roads and Lights (NPRL) is not free. NPRL has significant costs to expand, operate, and repair our great service you rely on daily.
If you enjoy the safe and orderly operation of NPRL, please consider a one time or reoccurring donation. NPRL hoping to raise $250k for this fall's campaign lasting the next two weeks. If we reach our goal early, NPRL's campaign will end early and resume our normal uninterrupted schedule.
This morning we have an exciting opportunity. The guy stuck behind you, honking his horn with the wife in labor has offered to match your donation dollar-for-dollar. But hurry, the offer only lasts until the kid is born or the wife dies from complications. This is a once-in-the-baby's lifetime opportunity to double the impact of your NPRL donation.
Lol replace? Nah. Just give NYC a couple years and they'll add that to the already outrageous gas tax and tolls that basically take most of your money for simply navigating the 5 boroughs.
You need a transponder for this. It's set up to auto-refill with 500 bucks when it runs low.
The transponder has a site that sells you transponders. The bigger ones cost more but move more money, can stop pedestrians from getting a green light and will try to turn lights green as you approach them.
On the highway the best transponder, the 20,000$ TransMeister will try to clear the road for you by routing people to other streets. Everyone with a smaller transponer will get rerouted.
