As an Amazon Sorting Center employee in NYS, I appreciate you ACTUALLY showing up on time. Every shift I work, we have at least 2 out of 4 trucks between 10 minutes and 5 hours late and then we have to wait 20 minutes for them to figure out how to park the truck correctly and most of the time someone has to actually go out and help them so thank you for always showing up on time for your deliveries :)

“Its a long light” because when you stopped you didnt catch the sensor under the street at the white line for the light to recognize you that it has someone waiting to make a turn. Alot of people dont know this but those box type joints you see at street lights are pressure sensors to let the light know there is someone waiting on red for green.
@RonDeSantis20282 жыл бұрын
It has to do with the road. Some roads were made for more traffic and you don’t want to keep stopping that traffic creating a gridlock, that’s why they have linger lights.
