Someone please explain these traffic lights to me |

Posted by Amanda on Fri Nov 20 00:24:54 2009 I was walking down 10th Ave. in Inwood the other day and had the "Walk" signal to cross Sherman Ave. As I crossed, I was almost mowed down by two cars on Sherman who ran a red to turn left onto 10th. And this is what the traffic light looked like:  If those lights were to agree to with the "Walk" signal, then the cars should have followed the above red lights and stopped. However, under the left light, there's a green light - it's angled slightly so, but it still looks like it was meant for Sherman Ave. traffic. But then Google Maps shows this, which means it was meant for 10th Ave. traffic, but the car shouldn't be turnig there - it should be turning from under the el, no?: View Larger Map Someone 'splain, Lucy. The cars that almost mowed me down were following that green light, and one almost got t-boned when he turned onto 10th. And if that light is meant for 10th Avenue traffic, why isn't it synced for 10th? If you notice in both of the photos I took, 10th has greens, although the Sherman lights differ. |
