    " "Us that live out be Settlers Bay might as well walk to work, it will be just as fast if not faster. " Give me a freakin' break. That's about the dumbest piece of hyperbole I've ever read on these pages, and that's saying a lot. The biggest cause of slowdowns on KGB is impatient idiots who pull out with so little room from side streets that they force the main stream of traffic to brake. The lights will give the feeder traffic a chance to get on KGB safely. "

    " Traffice lights on KGB is needed. Especially on this inersection. So many accidents happen on this intersection because valley trash don't now how to drive. It actualy will relieve traffic and prevent alot of these dumb driver mistakes pulling out of on coming vehicles. When school opens in the fall this will help commuters Trafic lights are needed!!! "

    " Great, this is just what we need on KGB. The traffic wasn't bad enough as it was, now with this traffic light and the other 2 that are planned for the road, plus the new double fine in the corridor added on.... Us that live out be Settlers Bay might as well walk to work, it will be just as fast if not faster. "
