Congress or a committee it authorizes would determine the length of time traffic lights stay red, yellow, and green and what hours of the day and at what intersections lights flash red or yellow.
One can only imagine the mess Congress would create in the 40,000 cities, towns, and other incorporated places in the U.S.
But managing traffic lights—and getting good results—is a far less complex task than managing the nation’s health care system and getting good results, which Congress tries to do.

The Free Market Beats Government Planning Every Time
