		<description><![CDATA[I think EZ Pass was toying with that idea for awhile, and then they dropped it because everyone screamed at them. But the idea was that if you passed through toll plaza A and then got to toll plaza B too soon, they would know that you sped, and they could calculate how fast you had gone on average and ticket you. It wouldn&#039;t be fair to delorean drivers though.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think many of the lights were set up and timed awhile back when there weren&#039;t as many cars coming into the city. My understanding is that there is interest in re-engineering the lights system, but that that this will be a huge undertaking to update and network the equipment for the whole city. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a conspiracy to slow us down--just outdated stuff. Maybe some more speed cameras could help to pay for updating the signal timing. . . jk.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think its a secret that they&#039;ve made the light timing purposefully off in order to &quot;slow cars down&quot;, but really I think its because there are some anti-car zealots in DDOT&#039;s leadership that really just want to discourage car usage.  

You can&#039;t get lights timed as bad as they are on U Street or some other major roads without trying.

I never noticed such poorly timed lights under Williams.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw a close one one night about six months ago. 

I was going through the tunnel and this Audi R8 supercar with Michigan plates was trying to race me through the tunnel. We started off at Constituion and we were both at the light together. I took off like I usually do if I&#039;m at the front at that light, I wasn&#039;t trying to race or anything, just having some fun late at night. Well I guess he wanted to show off so he took off after me and tried to catch up. He was in the far right lane, and right before you get to the exit ramp to get onto 395 heading in VA, there is a lane that merges in, but it&#039;s separated by a wall so you can&#039;t see what&#039;s merging until you&#039;re there. I knew that was coming up because I know the roads, so when we got close I backed off, let him get ahead and got all the way in the left lane to give myself some distance. Well, there was a car merging in that night and he came damn close to colliding with the merging car and wrecking his supercar.]]></description>
