I wanted to start this post with something new, since people complained that my posts were too long and draggy. Yeah, I agree too. I wouldn't want to read it too if it were that long.

SOOO, I shall generalise my day! By summarising it into an essay. Now, isn't that interesting! Take it on a positive note, perhaps your english language will improve!

not like my english is very good. ohwell, at least its a fresh start.

Traffic Lights
As we all know, traffic lights are "visual signals to control the flow of traffic at intersections" (dictionary.com) Basically, they maintain law and order on the roads. They prevent reckless drivers from dominating, and save the noobs amatuers from the former. Considering their role of call, they assist police officers in their job as well. However, have you ever thought that they were more of a hassle than a help?
Personally, I think that traffic lights are a hassle to us passers-by. They deter us from reaching our destination at the shortest possible time. The laggy greenman wastes a lot of time by flashing a bit too long. We, as passersby, have no interest in looking at a greenman who is totally fictional and non-existant, affect our lives in such a way that it causes us to be late for appointments. According to a recount of the recent events that happened today, yours truely was nearly late for training due to a certain traffic light at a crossroad. The laggy flashing greenman nearly cost me my life since I attempted to defy it. To my disappointment, it did not deter my bus at all.
They also cause unnecessary stress to us, already stressed-out souls. It has been proven, (this morning) that traffic lights causes stress to the heart, since the flashing light of the green-man makes our body secrete hormones that causes fast heartbeat rate. However, since I am not that apt at biology, I do not know the correct term for that hormone. It is bound to be something nasty, in my opinion, since bio is rather nasty as it is.
conclusion: traffic lights are for the inconvenience of passersby.
PS: For your information, the suggestions and elaboration have been omitted. This is an imcomplete essay, but you readers just have to accept it the way it is. I am simply too lazy to fill in anymore details since my concentration span is rather short.
