Online exchange re Road to Nowhere videos (at my mjcassini YouTube channel): 'janhanjanhan' wrote, "Removing lights can only work for intersections with little traffic where lights make us stop when it's safe to go (as said in Part 1). Removing lights from major intersections would result in chaos - everyone would block each other in the intersection, or just one direction would progress, not allowing others to participate. On fast intersections, cars would ALWAYS have to slow down from very high speeds. If everything was so simple why build interchanges for highways? Don't be naive."

My reply 1.1.11: How do you know the equal (or no) priority, filter-in-turn approach would not work at major junctions - have you tested it? No, you're making assumptions based on defective thinking that supports a flawed system. As stated in Part 1, I've seen lights out during power cuts across London and things were never better. Of course I concede that major intersections might need peak-time control, but control should be the last resort, not the first!
