(+) Yeah! (+)

They work on mostly either time or sensors, right? But do you think some would work better if they had human help? And not fully human control. Like not fully manual. But like a button they can push to have it start to change a little faster.

Some of them automatically get triggered when a bus or law enforcement or fire protection etc. approaches.

I heard about those, too. I was mostly wondering because of certain lights I see. Like one at a three way intersection. Sometimes, even when the road is clear, people are waiting the light for what seems like forever. I feel it could help there. And maybe some of the other busier(or less busy, in some cases) intersections...

Hiring people to work all of those lights would be insanely expensive. Would never happen. Even if you had them on camera and had some central hub monitoring them, it would still cost too much.

Sometimes getting out of the car and pressing the walk button works

Yeah. I guess to would be expensive. Though, it would open up more jobs... depending on how many people they hire...

I guess that would work for the places that have them...
