I used to believe that, in every city, a VERY large number of policeman(and woman), sat in a humongous room, looked at all the traffic lights through small TV screens (every single one,) and pressed buttons to make it change from red-yelleow-green.ex: a policeperson looks at a screen, then, munching a doughnut, sits up, pushes a green buton, and the cars start going.
A childhood belief about traffic lights
others believed things like this
- My dad could change a traffic light from red to green using our garage door opener.Anon
- i used to believe that the green arrows on the traffic lights told you which way you had to go to get home.— Helen
- i used to believe that red yellow and green meant "ready, set, Go!" on traffic lights..— cabagona
- when i was little thought that ants changed traffic lights from green to red and vice versa.Anon
- that the green traffic light turned blue when it was off— Kriket Evens
- I used to believe green houses were made of icicles, because that is what they looked like from the road. Anon
