Jiminy crickets.

I thought civil engineers thought of things like this. Yeah, they'll save electricity, but how much are you paying all those work crews? And if they are on overtime, forget it!

They need to install snowlar cells on the lights to get electricity to heat them.

Surely if they have solar cells to make electricity, they have snowlar ones too?

They did think about it! More union jobs...every city now needs to hire additional union members to clear the snow out of the traffic lights.
