The synchronized lights are one of the good things about one way streets. Driving down King and Main the lights are synchronized to for about a 51 or 52 KPH traffic flow. That is a far cry from the 70 KPH I keep hearing. You get a wave of traffic for 45 seconds or so and then you get nothing, calm. You can cross the street at your leisure. Compare that to James Street South. Two way traffic, cars racing trying to make the next green light. Pedestrians never having a lull in the traffic to cross, so they feel forced to try and get across the street in between the cars. It is a much more dangerous place now then it was a few years ago when it was one way. Not only is it more dangerous for pedestrians it is also slower for exasperated drivers who feel forced to drive more aggressively to get to where they are going.
