Don’t blink

There is nothing more aggravating and frustrating than being stuck at a red light when seconds make the difference between you being on time and you being late.  Sure the average red light only lasts between 30 seconds to a minute there are some that last longer.  There is one red light on the corner of John F. Kennedy Blvd in Jersey City that lasts exactly two minutes.  Not only does it take long to turn green but when it does, it takes 3o seconds to change back to red.  How anyone hasn’t bothered to complain or suggest there be an additional 3o seconds added to the time it takes to change back to red is confusing.

I’m sure I’m not the only person on the morning bus awake enough to notice that this is going on.  Isn’t anyone else annoyed by the fact of having to add additional unnecessary time to their morning commute?
