I am working on a project that as part of the requirement we have to replace a large number of street lights or lighting columns This will be done over a 5 year period and cover a whole city in the UK so how many lighting columns do we have to replace? to give you a start the number is between 30 and 80 thousand? as a secondary question how many tree's do we also have to replace? :) again in the thousands Tim ID: 1087447 ·

On my daily commute of about 60 miles, how many stop lights do I go through? As a tie breaker, how many stop signs? If there is still a tie, how many yield signs? Mind that in the evening, I do not repeat the path that I took in the morning. There is also some limited access highway. BOINC WIKI ID: 1088237 ·

Glenn Probably. It is triangular with the point down and means that you have to yield right of way to traffic on the other road. However, if traffic is clear when you are approaching the intersection, you do not have to stop. BOINC WIKI ID: 1088428 ·
