Lines: 18 Concerning lights with malfunctioning magnetic sensors: Right On!! There's this one particular light, at the main entrance to the College Park campus of the U of MD, that seems to work exactly backwards. I often leave here at 2 or 3 in the morning. I get to the light; it's red. There's no one nearby on the main street, Route 1. (However, there're headlights far down the road so I don't dare make a left-on-red.) So I sit at this red light for a while. Eventually, someone comes down Route 1. Just as they approach the light, it turns red for Rt. 1 traffic and green for me! If it let me through 60 seconds ago no one would have had to even slow down! - Chris -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris.umcp-cs@UDel-Relay
