We call them traffic lights and no, none have ever blown around in the wind as they are permanently fixed. 👌

The standard of driving in the UK is much higher than the US. It is much harder and more expensive to get a license.

[MaxwellMoore-du]

That's why Roundabouts are better for Traffic flow .

I subscribe to Girl Gone London and she does deep dives into very niche subjects and makes them interesting.

@10:35 It's the way they do it over there. No need to fix anything until its proven to be a danger. Just like food additives.
"Stupid" is Americas middle name :P

thats a great fact 30k traffic lights in the UK, we have more pubs than traffic lights, we have 48k pubs lol, jobs a good one

We have a lot of traffik lights in the UK, but we have a LOT more roundabouts (US traffic circles) because they work better than lights and keep the traffic moving smoothly. 😊

I'm old enough to remember seeing traffic police in many cities here in Portugal, including the small one where I live. 🙂

[FacelessJanus]

She missed out 1 point. In the US, traffic lights are on the opposite side of the crossing, where in roughtly the rest of the world it is on the same side of the road you are driving on.

[stewedfishproductions]

In the UK, we are taught to apply the handbrake when stopped or at traffic lights. It's a habit we get into... Unlike the US. And, although (after driving for sometime) you may just keep your foot on the brake pedal at lights; the Red/Amber (yellow) lights DO give you time to release the handbrake and get ready to go...

[modulel]

Ummm... the red light never turns green, it just turns off.

Those strung wire things look horrifying - give me a uniform grounded post any day.

In the UK they are also called traffic lights, post mounted is the name of one particular design. In South Africa they are called robots, colloquially.

I have tried several times to get onto your vlog channel but it always says not available. Maybe because I am in England and can't get onto it. Love your outdoor antics videos and seeing America etc but never mind as vlog seems to be a no go. Keep your videos coming and Take Care. 👍

[XENONEOMORPH]

these guys are funny specially when the girl goes on one haaa classic, i seem to be enjoying the channel.subscribed i had to .

[scottneil]

I've never seen lightning hit a traffic light and kill someone in my 40 odd years of watching horror!. You're probably thinking of Final Destination 1, an electricity cable falls down in that one, doesn't kill anyone though!.

[beldin]

Talking bout "haircut" .. have you see the "One Piece" life action series ? Its just too funny what Zoro does there with Helmeppo and after that they always just call him " haircut" 😂

[scottirvine]

Its better and safer much like everything driving related here
