Description

Even though I've stated this problem really only persists between the hours of 9 AM and 4 PM, I actually notice it at all hours of the day and night. I notice it only on the east and west bound streets in downtown and midtown Houston. The northbound and southbound light seem to be synchronized pretty well. however, the streets that run eastbound and westbound in that same area have anything but synchronize lights. I can't understand why they're such a disparity in the synchronization of traffic lights on these streets. In fact, it takes me as long to cross east west - say, from Bagby to San Jacinto - as it does for me to get all the way from Elgin to roughly Clay Street. Unfortunately there's no way to avoid the delay because it seems to be every street running east and west through both downtown and midtown.
