Hey Ed,

I'M GUILTY!! I, at times find it hard to sit in the left lane at the intersection of E. Hwy 80 and Hwy 55 waiting for a full cycle when nothing is coming in sight. I don't recall ever seeing a similar situation anywhere I have ever been where there is a green light and a red light burning at the same time. I suppose anyone wanting to turn into the Columbia Housing Authority could go on through the green light and turn, otherwise I see no need for this double light. We see green lights everywhere we travel that allow motorists to turn left when nothing is approaching from the opposite direction. What makes this intersection any different from those. So until such time that a ticket is written or a sign posted I will continue to turn left on red when no one is in sight in the approaching lane. Thanks. - Willie M Feese Jr
