*nod* I like trip plates a lot. I don't think they would work so well in
the busy downtown, but outside of it there are plenty of intersections
where trip plates are really nice. There are some intersections though
where the trip plate is farther back to allow for some accumulation, my
aunt would slow down at the area and then get a green before she got to
the light.
