The state owes car owners big time in long delayed and ignored traffic congestion relief by bringing our traffic light system into the 21st Century.  
No, not Synchronization of Lights which is obsolete in the 21s Century. 
Then there is the matter of time wasted at all congested intersections with a Left Turn traffic light at the center of the intersection. 
But a new and innovative 21st Century intersection design that allows cars making a Left Turns at an intersection to move simultaneously with thru traffic (completely eliminate left turns at the center of an intersection), thus saving 2 minutes or more at each congested intersection for every change of Red to Green light. 
10 such newly designed intersections can save car owners 20 minutes or more in travel time.  
100 changes in Red to Green at a single intersection alone would save 200 or more minutes or over 3.33 hours in travel time.
