Lee County has a traffic control computer system that regulates all
the lights at major intersections and it works surprisingly well. Most
of the time you can go 8-10 miles on US 41 past dozens of lights and
never see a red.


Our small town that is about 15 blocks long on main street has the
lights set so that almost no matter what you do, you get stopped at
every other light. Reason the town gave was so you could (have to )
look at the stores and their display windows.


The speed limit on US41 is 50 so they really don't want you looking at
windows and the stores are usually behind a row of trees anyway. They
try to make you forget there are stores back there. They also have
rules than make the signs small and somewhat hidden.
It is tough if you don't know where you are going.
