Red Arrow in Australia Orange in Europe

In many instances, Australia can be seen as being (deliberately?) retarded in certain areas, compared to the rest of the world.

This is not a matter of NOT having the technology or the know how, just part of a political agenda, which may not be entirely obvious at first glance.

After a recent trip, it was observed that in Europe after a certain time at night, when the vehicular traffic is low, traffic light flash orange / amber at intersections, meaning that cautious approach be undertaken and when safe to do so, proceed through the intersection.

At night, for example at 3am where NO traffic exists on the penal colonial roads of England, one is NOT allowed to turn, until the traffic light suggests one can, which can be after a quite considerable amount of time.

The government does not have a policy that alleviates traffic congestion, but rather creates it.

It is just another way of keeping the plebs occupied.
