Because American way is the best way to fit them, you're wasting space by having them because because you can't come up too close or else you won't see the light.

Once again America prevails

>>1349319
Having them before*

Just natural progression of engineering and city planning. It's easier to see the light / street name while waiting at the intersection if it's on the other side, or if you have a particularly low to the ground car. And you lose no long distance visibility.

Because Europeans have no idea how to drive, so their driving infrastructure is useless.

>>1349315
pretty sure we have them both

Because in a civilized country, you can turn right, if there's no incoming vehicle, even if the light is red.

>>1349318
>>1349317
This is the only answer.

>>1349315
More time to see the light, you can't accidentally pull up under the light in crowded traffic.
Basically Europe didn't think things through, again.

>>1349315
Its because Europe has old shit and old streets. They can't plaster a fucking streetlight in the other end because of muh buildings
/thread

some lights are double sided and placed at both sides of the intersection

>>1349324
Good thing we can do that in America at almost every intersection that doesn't involve a high speed blind corner.

>>1349315
Great politics

Fuck off you filthy kraut.

Easier to see if you're behind a tall vehicle. We paint shit on the floor to show where to stop.

>>1349315
Explain to me why you cunts dont do both

>>1349315
Because when you don't brake fast enough you don't have to wildly guess when you can actually go because the light isn't directly above you.

>>1349318
You cunts are the only ones to do both.

Because public safety I burger land is set up to force people to fail. Now they're implementing red light cameras all over the place and burgerland only really gives a shit about money.

>>1349315
what the fuck
I didn't need this right now

>>1349317
Waste of taxes.

>>1349334
Where the actual fuck can you do 130 in France also we have no speedlimit.

>>1349334
do people actually drive that fast?

>>1349315
I'm 203cm and already have to bend my neck to see the light. Fuck off with your stupid shit.
sage.

>>1349334
cars to fast

>>1349334
>only 3 countries in Europe doesn't have a higher speed limit
Does our government have any clue how big Canada is.

You lot can't handle British roads.

>>1349342
its kilometers you retard.

>>1349332
I wish we did the same, but apparently, we're just stupid about red lights.

>>1349345
What's canuck top speed?

the fuck this thread got moved for ?? dumb mods bitch asszz

Fuck you I'm replying.

EUROFAGS GET BTFO.

>explain me why american have their traffic lights after the intersection while europeans have them before the intersection
Europeans adopted traffic lights from railway signals, where you are supposed to stop right before the signal itself.
Americans later copied European pedestrian signals (which are behind the intersection too) for vehicular traffic.

Germany has a "Gentleman's agreement" speed limit of 250 kph.

>>1349317
this desu
because of >>1349316

Because you stop at the intersection. It seems to work pretty well.

>>1349342
>>1349348
With the right car and if the traffic is not too high, you can drive 130mph on a German Autobahn. Yes, people drive that fast.

>>1349315
It's to accommodate all the Lambo's and Ferari's that are banned in Europe.

>America and Europe waste time and money installing four posts with four different lights on all four sides of the intersection instead of hanging a 4 sided light in the middle of the intersection
