Running Red Lights (3)
I first blogged about this on April 14 and then again in July. I was on this road again yesterday, and oh look – nothing has changed, except the one remaining red light has become even dimmer in the 6 months. I have seen other lights changed – and cleaned (part of the problem here is the humidity and the sand gumming up the lights) but c’mon, this should be a part of nightly traffic maintenance! This is a disaster waiting to happen at a busy intersection:
Can you even see the red light? You have to know it is there, I think. It is the top right light. Now – can you see it?
Traffic department: These lights are at the intersection of the southern Gulf Road/ 7th Ring Road/ 209 and Highway 30. Please, clean up these lights and put in fresh bulbs!

That’s disastrous! i don’t see any lights!
There is a very faint – very very faint – red light on the upper right, but you have to know it is there. Fortunately, there were other cars stopped, so I knew to stop, too.
Take care …
Light? which light?
So does the dissappearance of lights make a difference?
I’ve already nearly died twice because some bozo decided red lights are only for other people, not for them.
Grey – in Kuwait? Always. 🙂 I heard there was a guy the other day who almost hit a woman with a baby carriage!!
Aafke – No, here, many times the lights don’t make a difference. In Qatar, however, there are now cameras, and running a red light costs around $1500!! Don’t ya love it? It takes a fine like that to get their attention!
