To the Editor:
Recently I’ve had the occasion to leave the Island in the very early hours of the morning, usually between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. What I have noticed immediately is that the traffic lights are no longer synchronized to all change from green to red at the same time, as they have been in the past.
In Beach Haven and some blocks in Ship Bottom, the lights are out of sync completely, resulting in only allowing you to proceed a hundred feet to the next red light.
