How can I make the subject stand out more

I wanted it to say "this is why our city is broke, we have 5 lights in one intersection"

Last one is totally overexposed.....unless one lives there, I suppose it makes sense?

Also, its not "one .is alot of intersecting drives?

Yeah epic fail on the second

The first picture is just a driveway that comes onto a street. Crap I think I worded it wrong. It should have said the street lights and not traffic lights.

Not really,you can see all the out bound lanes?

Is that street Proctologist Way?

I'm not quite sure what the problem is that you're trying to illustrate, but the lights would be better if shot at night, I agree.

4 lane road with a left turn lane and a three lane drive way coming together.

It sure feels like it when I get off work lol

OK reshoot at night

I have to say that if you show up at a public meeting and try to make your case about too many street lights, you will be greeted by stunned disbelief shortly before the sergeant-at-arms escorts you from the meeting. It looks to me like each of the lights is on a different corner of a four-lane highway intersection. The problem with that is what? To me, this intersection reeks of "history of traffic fatalities", hence the many traffic lights. I submit that all those lights are meant to reduce the number of accidents.

I honestly don't get the point of the "close enough for government work" one. I do suggest that you get the shot before, not after work so that you're not shooting into the sun. But I don't think that will make your point any clearer.

I really have to agree with joedlh. Having a well lit intersection doesn't define why "our city is broke" at least to me.

I initially thought you were focusing on the number of traffic signals for a three-way stop, I think I count 8 of them.

Yeah I totally screwed up the wording.

Actually my friend is the city planner and he has to go to those meetings . Its teh light that illuminate the street at night not the traffic signals. The signals are there because big trucks go to a warehouse in back. At night this place is a hot spot for street racing.

The second one neither of the poles are perpendicular they both lean.

This is one of the most confusing posts I have ever seen
