traffic lights

When I was little I believed that some teenager would change the trafic lights while reader comic books.

I USED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WERE LITTLE MEN IN THE STREET LIGHTS (TRAFFIC LIGHTS) THAT WOULD CONTROL WHO STOPS AND WHO GOES. "RED YELLOW GREEN."

like a lot of people here it seems....i believed my mom had the power to predict when the light would change, because she was looking at the other side for it to turn yellow. but i had forgotten about this for a long time, and only just realized how she did it by reading all the other people's memories....DOH!

When I was little I thought there was some kind of electrical signal in traffic lights that stopped cars automatically when it turned red, and made them go when it turned green, and there was nothing the driver could do about it.

I.S

I used to believe that all traffic lights were operated by people in a big control room under the streets. I have no clue where this idea came from.

I used to believe that my Dad could magically make red lights change by snapping his fingers and saying "Change, light, change," because whenever he would do this, the light would change. It was a long time before I realized he was watching for the yellow light in the other direction before he did this.

When I was little, I was convinced that honking your horn would turn a red traffic light green. Whenever we were the first car at a red light, I would ask my mom why she didn't just honk so we could go faster. Since she never did I thought she just didn't know the secret.

I honestly still kind of think this is true.

I used to think that traffic lights were controlled by elevators with light inside them, so when it went to green, it turned green, and all the other stuff.

LOL elevator lights

i used to believe that there was a little green alien a little orange alien and a little red alien that only stood up when they felt like it

ass hole

i used to believe that there was a man that who lives in a little house and his job was to change the colour on the traffic lights...red, yellow, green... ok, now you can go...

i used ot beleive that somewher a man was sitting with a clicker and would clicka red button for the light to turn red,a greeen so the light woold turn green,a nd a yellow so the light would turn yellow. i also remeber beliving htat he would always know if someone were ina urry and hit hte red button just to tick them off.

When I was little my grandmother told me that the bumps to alert you that a stop is coming were for blind drivers. I took it to be the gospel without questioning, it was only later, when I was 14 and told my older friend about the bumps I began to realize exactly how stupid I sounded.

I used to believe that the traffic lights are controlled by a person sitting in some office near it. That person is in front of a lot of TV monitors so he could see when to push the right buttons for red, yellow and green.

I used to believe that the government knew where we wanted to turn at an intersection. It wasn't until I was tall enough (twelve years old) to see the 'left turn only' sign on the street that turning lanes came to mind.
