The timing was done in the 70&#x27;s, and it never worked. The city would argue that its traffic engineers were highly competent and had timed it perfectly, but all the drivers knew better.<p>It&#x27;s like the TV sound engineers who&#x27;d argue that the commercials are not set to be louder. Yeah, I know, dynamic range compression, but I&#x27;d put VU meters on the sound and the loudest sound in the TV show was quite a bit lower than the average sound on the commercials.
