		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, I drove through my most hated traffic signal in the entire state.  To the average person, the signal probably seems innocent enough.  The detection appears to work well, the heads are visible, the structure of the signal is new, and the volumes even meet signal warrants.  Unfortunately, I know that the signal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsontrafficengineering.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8775004&amp;post=33&amp;subd=thoughtsontrafficengineering&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is inevitable.  Each year, when school starts back, requests pour in for new traffic signals at schools. Unfortunately, these signals are almost never warranted.  Often, the solution suggested by school officials and politicians is to install a part-time signal.  Personally, I hate these for several reasons.  First, if more school children rode on school [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thoughtsontrafficengineering.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8775004&amp;post=29&amp;subd=thoughtsontrafficengineering&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
