Time those stoplights
The timing of the stoplights in Fresno makes driving a bad experience.
I drive all over Fresno daily and it’s the same no matter where I go. When Jim Patterson was mayor, they were supposed to get them timed. I’m still waiting.
The city says it’s the left-turn arrows that make it impossible. The lights are timed in Sacramento, Simi Valley, Stockton and San Jose, why not here?
If the lights are timed to stop you, then why can’t they be timed to let you go? Our cars would use much less fuel if they didn’t stop and go every half mile.
