This is due to a phenomenon called "Induced Demand." 🌆🚦 When we build new roads, people think it's easier to drive, so more people choose to use cars, leading to even more traffic! It's like a never-ending cycle! 🔄 (Image source unknown)

As a cyclist do you notice that sometimes you stop and wait for a green light even though there are no cars on the road? Of course, you can just cross the road in such cases, but it's not always safe.

This video is about this smart traffic light :)

Driving In Fog Tips: 1. Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. 2. Make your vehicle visible to others both ahead of you and behind you by using your low-beam headlights since this means your taillights will also be on. Use fog lights if you have them. 3. Never use your high-beam lights. Using high beam lights causes glare, making it more difficult for you to see what’s ahead of you on the road. 4. Leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to account for sudden stops or changes in the traffic pattern.
