While I dont disagree with the point on the surface, I get the sense if it was moved to almost anywhere else...then NIMBYS WOULD in fact come out and oppose it (see the men's shelter debate).
So they're angry they cant go full NIMBY here.

The problem is teaching the maintenance staff to check and understand the logic processor. In the past they would do the same things via hard wired relays. But take it out of their hands and into engineers by way of the logic processor, and they lose that familiarity. It's just a training thing IMO.

We haven't run into too many problems when it's this operation on it's own...but when you try to mix this with aggressive TSP it can get messy.
For this specific example, it really is just changing the way signal checks are done. Simply, look at one screen vs another and change procedure.

No, but when you do something for 2 or 3 decades, it can be difficult to change. Its not a lack of desire, its just a system that works well for simplified operations doesnt for more complex.

I liked the signs in Flagstaff, AZ. They showed a weekly chart using green and red for times you could park there. Once you saw what it was telling you, it was pretty quick to read.

I believe I saw Dr. Furth mentioned this in a YouTube video. The side streets being split phase provides us with a nice opportunity here.

What I like about many (not all..TY Hansa Teutonica) big box sets is you get to skip the part of games where you enjoy the base game and can jump straight to the 'it's too big and cumbersome to bring to game night'...now with bling!

Ahh, I see what youre saying. Yeah, that could be programmed. On the other route, multiple lines used the bus phase, so we wanted to allow it as much as possible.

That could happen, but we'd rather any detector fail on than off. Especially exclusive phases.

No. Its a 15 minute service, so its just fir reducing 'worst case scenario' delay.
