How do these things survive a tornado
chile
It just works
I don't understand autistic German priorities. Why would traffic lights be a top priority for tornado survival?
>>62258187
they dont. you just replace them for nothing.

I don't think ftw gets a whole lot of tornados. My particular dallas suburb has only had 2 tocuh down in like 50 years

Why would you just hang a traffic light on a wire

they all down and then u put them back on. lmao.
also that's not what most intersection lights look like. very few hang on a rope like that.

To avoid traffic accidents during tornadoes.

They probably don't
This is the style they install in Florida where they expect hurricanes all the time

At least they're mounted on an actual pole and not just on a flimsy wire

Dude, nothing survives a fucking tornado
I helped with the clean up in Joplin Missouri, and I promise you that nothing fucking survives
And anything that does "Survive" is unusable
This is what Euros don't understand, that nothing survives. We could make our houses out of fucking anything but the "cardboard" they make fun of us for and the tornado would still fucking rip through it.
The only thing that saves you from a tornado isn't thicker walls, or a stronger building material, it's a fucking basement/cellar/crawl space

Because it's cheap and traffic poles cost a fuckload
So if you don't live in a major city or a place that's rich as fuck, chances are there's not enough tax money being pooled together for the city to buy fancy, unnecessary poles
Literally every traffic light I've ever seen looks like this.

I've been thinking about that myself actually. Who the hell hangs traffic lights on a fucking wire?
America looks really exotic though - I must visit someday

Even when you tell them them this and you show pictures and videos they refuse to listen. They put their heads in the sand and refuse to accept other view points.

The chance of being hit by a tornado is so fucking slim that this post is just retarded and so are you

WHAT THE FUCK DELET THIS
>>62258704
I've lived in the South for a while and pretty much all lights looked like the ones in the OP, wire-mounted
>>62258608
Makes sense. I thought it had something to do with how wide y'all's streets are, it's much more practical hanging a light right above everyone's head rather than placing a pole in the middle of interstate. And it gets tiresome to always look to the far right if you wanna check for green
>>62258331
shit-tier
>>62258767
When you have a continent sized country it's just easier to get some wire and a pole.
>>62258708
america is basically the shittest place on earth in terms of having constant natural disasters. there's basically no place in this country that is free from danger, so might as well stay where you are.

Natural disasters build character. No coincidence that Americans, Chileans, and Japanese have the most character.

That would actually increase your chances of survival in a tornado.
>>62258808
better to be retarded than raped by a gust of wind LOL
>>62258921
Funny how my country is the very opposite in this aspect and yet it doesn't fail at all to reach disaster by other means.
I guess that, as >>62258982 kinda said, natural disaster endures people.
>>62258973
Okay
I like it here
Come back when you can say the same about your city

>>62258420
well depending on the strength of storms in the area maybe you'd need insanely strong poles to withstand it. So having a few lights wall on the ground while the cabling is somewhat salvageable is probably a cheaper solution. In the short term at least and so when you dont want to raise taxes (because it makes you unpopular) to finance better traffic lights you stick with the current choice that isn't even that bad
>>62259121
Better to be raped by a gust of wind than by Muslims
This is what happens.

tornadoes are dangerous and scary bruh your memes don't really bother anyone they're kind of dumb 2 b h
much of the danger doesn't necessary come from the wind speed but the suction effect of its spins and from the giant debris that it's throwing around at high speeds
pic related. something as flimsy as straw can be thrown around to be as penetrative as bullets. very dangerous stuff BRUH.

They are crazy. Your house could be fine, but just a yard away, your neighbor's house is flattened.
