Now count with me: 1 2 3 4 1 2 ....

I don't have huge gripes with the whole Eskom issue. Yes its somewhat inconvenient not to have electricity at times, but hey...we've had some cool picnics because of it :) And I love candlelight!

But, the one thing I don't get, is why traffic lights are switched off too. Can't they bypass that? Especially at peak hours. There seems to be confusion at the intersections, especially the big ones.

Usually people treat it as a 4-stop when the lights aren't working, and that's the right way I think (though its really slow). But people get impatient I guess....and sometimes cross in huge clumps. That makes it even more confusing and slow, because you never know which will be the last car to join a specific group. And they don't take proper turns either (I guess some people struggle to count 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4......)

And we're gonna have How many more years of this??

*sigh*
