Obviously the rain puts a lot of robots out of working order, but it is astounding that at certain times of the year they simply cannot fix them. It is almost as if all of the municipal workers are on some permanent holiday and while it is not a problem for one or two very quiet days of traffic, the day all the roads start getting hectic in the second week of January, it is really unacceptable that some traffic lights which have been out of order for two or three weeks, should still be out of order.
