    As an aside, are there real L-shaped traffic light stacks? I’ve always seen them with the arrow at the bottom. The direction of the arrow makes it perfectly understandable without putting it off to the side. But I could imagine a traffic light company marketing these.

      Idk, my city in UK has those, though it’s usually backwards L for left turn.

        I’ve noticed a lot of little routine things in UK are different from US where I live. I really wish we had more roundabouts here.

          I live on a street that’s got two roundabouts. It’s a residential area and people really don’t know how to use them. If you don’t signal, nobody knows what you’re doing. Please signal. I’m begging you. It’s not that hard.

          I like them.

          My wife gets to anxious about them. Like nobody is in the circle and she comes to almost a full stop, and cars behind honk. i explained to think of it as a 4 way yield sign.

          To which she said “What’s a yeild sign?”

          Ah, so that’s the issue 😀

          People in the us where they have roundabouts don’t know how to use them. Roundabouts are great unless the people are too dumb to use them.

      Depends on the country. I’ve only seen these.

      It’s informative in that you can guess what the extra light is even when off.
