I see that Papa Benito has already rewarded you with a thumbs up. He and others agree with you.
But is another thread needed when there are already 2 or three going on the same subject?
My hope is the light will soon be fixed. Walking across the street is much easier and safer, same for cars turning into or exiting from Playero lot, and for drivers coming from Pedro Clisante trying to turn left onto the highway.
No, i wouldnt have thought 3 threads on the subject was necessary...but then i cant see the other two. Certainly not on the north coast forum. Maybe im going blind.
I found it no problem to exit from Playero lot, was just very careful as always, lights or no. Just didnt have to wait an age for them to change.
As for peds, its never safe crossing there even when the lights are working.
Get in the habit of making use of the archives and the search window. If you are looking for something on traffic lights, do a search for that and/or Sosua light, something that covers the subject you are checking to see if there is a thread or two already started.
I cross that street as much as anyone and I don't see how you can be safer without the light. It is rare for a car to jump the light, at least that has been my observation. Many motorcycles do, but not all, so there are less of them zipping through when the light is working. I have also noticed that when they run the light they are more inclined to give walkers the right of way than when there is no light.
Well, you may have a point Ken and lights are needed though it is a blessed relief to not have that endless queue of traffic there.
Maybe they just need to change the phasing a little bit so it is more biased towards the Calle Principal than the turn-offs

Ideal would be to have an Amet guy on the corner from 9:AM to 5
Whoa you want AMET to "work" from 9AM to 5PM??? This i would love to see. Maybe they could even enforce the traffic laws (one way streets, stop signs, lights) for more then 2 hours a day as well...

Sorry, the AMRATS are a solution to nothing! Simply, they cause problems!Ideal would be to have an Amet guy on the corner from 9:AM to 5
That light is timed so ridiculous that its dangerous, people just don't respect idiotic traffic lights and they make the intersection even more dangerous.
its not hours, its 40 seconds at a time, and we have no choice because its always red (unless we run it).
Lights are pretty well observed by all but motorcycles. If you stop for a light, you are unlikely to hear horns, providing you start moving when the light changes. Horns start blowing when somebody waiting thinks the driver first in line needs a reminder the light is green,
