I guess I’m not the only one who noticed there’s an issue with the two cars per light metering on I-5. This morning was my 2nd day experiencing the new lights on the 43rd Avenue onramp, and some folks are confused. (I might be one of them, too.) The sign by the light says two cars per green. The guy to my right was as long as two cars–he had a trailer hitched to his SUV and the trailer extended into eternity. Go figure–he hesitated, then the guy behind him figures two cars (and he was the second) and decides to go on red. I had green.

Fortunately, I was awake and got through the snafu unharmed. So did the other drivers. Meanwhile, I’m not sure the 2-car rule works all that well, but we’ll see how it goes…
