Is there any traffic light worse than the one at Trailwood and KWD? I have sat  in the left turn lane through 3 cycles in a row on several occasions. Every other lane of traffic gets a green light, while I wait there at the left turn lane again and again and again. The Worst!!! 4951

Left turn light at Woodland Hills going south at Kingwood drive. If more than one car makes it through before the light turns red it's a miracle most days. 4951

@HollyHobby:
 
I'd like to know why nobody in Houston can make a left without a green arrow. Most everywhere else in the world if the coast is clear you go. Here you wait. The arrow should be only for major intersections where there is too much opposing traffic to break through. The extra cycle slows down traffic and adds to air pollution. 4951

@ET, hey now, nothing at all wrong with an arrow.  This is clear directions.  And the air is fine.
 
@Fallon:
 
You are from another planet. The air here is way less than fine and I am capable of making a left turn on my own. 4951

@ET, the arrow is a must.  Just think of the children!  And the rest of us that appreciate themEmoticonWe could put in round abouts, but they are stupid. We could keep using outdoor toilets.  But thankfully we don't.    So we will keep the arrows and not worry about the air.  Roll up your windows and crank down the ac like a good American.  
 
@Fallon:
 
So you can inhale chilled pollution?
I'm not saying you need to do away from them just give an option to go if clear. You wait long enough it trips.
People can't two lane merge here a roundabout would be a killing field. 4951

@HollyHobby:
 
 
Which direction?  Do you mean Trailwood drive northbound, turning to westbound Kingwood Drive?  Or westbound Kingwood Drive, turning left to southbound Trailwood Village DR?  And what time of day?  In the early mornings, I sometimes will get caught at a red light when I am traveling west on KW drive at the Trailwood light, but it is rare.  Most of the time I am green to Chestnut ridge or 494.  4951

Until I went to the UK, I never understood roundabouts.  Since my first trip over many years ago, I've never understood why we don't have more of them in the US. 4951

@shodan66:
 
Because people here can't even drive in a straight line (and need an arrow to tell them when to turn left) 4951

This is true - I nearly got popped this morning on KW drive by someone in a corolla or camry next to me who was on her cell phone at 5:15.  She veered into my lane and came about a foot from my car until I blasted my horn and she jerked back into her lane.  She might have been putting on makeup and eating breakfast too, but her windows were too dark to tell but I saw her lit up phone on the side of her face.  4951

I refuse to thank your post @shodan66.  I make squares out of any traffic circles.   Hilton Head has a few installed.  Sort of says all you need to know about South Carolina.@ET, my refrigerated air is recycled clean airEmoticon  The arrow conversation is done, I won it already.  Honestly, how does your wife deal with you?  
 
@Fallon:
 
No problem. Unlike you, she knows when she is wrong. 4951
