Any motorist who has ever waited through multiple cycles for a traffic light to turn green knows how annoying signalized intersections can be.

Been getting my tires here for 20 years! Great people. And free tire changes!
Edit: just to emphasize the point… a full Kal Tire delivery truck just pulled up on the main street beside and is now sitting there in the left turn lane waiting for the logging truck to be done so it can pull in. Crew now working double fast lol.
Winter tire season definitely on!
