Traffic signals

A large city bus passed right in front of me as I stood on the corner waiting for my signal to cross the busy downtown street.

I have been working on projects in this business district for a few weeks. It is unlike the quiet suburban setting where I had been for many years.

I had notice that all day and night there is continual movement of cars, trucks, busses and pedestrians. These come and go in orderly ways due to the traffic signals. Some clever traffic engineers designed and operate these integrated systems. We just stop and go as the lights inform us. We get from Point A to Point B safely.

If these lights did not exist or were out of order then there would need to be a police officer on every corner. There would be slow movements and upset people.

So those lights for the cars and for the pedestrians are silent servants.

I see you there silent servants.
