I don’t get the purpose of them at all. These seem to be only on the entrances to highways too. Maybe there’s some good reason or data that shows why these have become so prevalent over the last decade but to me it makes no sense. I like the old way better no lights just drive on, let’s just go back to that. As a driver I seriously question anyone who is like yeah that’s what I want to do, I want to stop my car completely before getting maybe 50 yards to enter the highway where cars are going 65 mph or more. I am not ashamed to admit this but I always blow right past these things whenever I encounter them while driving.
