Elaborate?
I just find it ridiculous, no other intersections like these have even been upgraded, either if it was to improve safety or whatnot, there was also a pretty serious accident here following a police chase last week, which left a woman with a broken leg while four other people were injured.

Here's the rest of the intersections that were upgraded in my area in 2014/15

Unless I am blind I do not see any differences at all between the 2014 and 2018 shots

Why not?

You know...I'm really tired of you saying stuff isn't needed without an explanation as to why, or you expect us to know why traffic setups are weird and odd. :Roll: It especially does not help when all of us here in the 'states are not familiar with traffic signaling in Europe at all, either.

For starters, this overpass is roughly a mile away, and people can see if from there.

Also, i'm guessing its because of the trees here.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Here in the States, it's far less common to have lights only on the corners instead of up in the air where they are a little easier (IMO) to see than trying to pick them out off of the street corners.

Some U.S. looking beacons in Bermuda.

Looks like they also tried to copy Clearwater Beach in Florida.
