Traffic Light Turns Green For Frustrated Driver

Boston, MA – At approximately 3:52pm yesterday afternoon, the traffic light on the corner of Newbury Street and Gloucester Street turned green after several minutes of patience from driver, Jim Gallagher.  “I had approached the last three lights in a row red and it was like they never turned green.  I was sitting there forever and it was just so frustrating,” says Gallagher.  “Then, finally this one did!” 

Gallagher was heading away from Boston towards P & J Bait Shop on Dorchester Avenue.  “I was gonna go a fishin’,” Gallagher said.  It was estimated that this light turning green saved Gallagher roughly 37 seconds in his travels.

“Well, at the fishin’ store, I got a real good parkin’ space.  Who knows…that space may have been taken if that light had been stayin’ red for longer,” Gallagher exclaimed.  “That awesome parking spot also saved me time.  If I had parked farther away, it would have taken much, much longer to get inside.”

It has also been reported that there are several potholes in the parking lot of P & J Bait shop beyond where Gallagher had been parked.  Had he been forced to park elsewhere, it is likely that he may have gotten a flat tire, run out of gas, or even tripped while walking into the store.
