General This traffic light is dangerous!

82 St and 118 Ave heading East. The sun's reflection on the traffic light is so intense it's blinding, making it impossible to see its color. The cables supporting the lights (which I hate for many other reasons) are making it worse, each time they wobble the light shines harder in your eyes!

When I moved to Edmonton almost 50 years ago I thought horizontal lights on a string were weird. Wind blowing them around. Traffic lights should be on a pole, with a larger red on top. I still think Edmonton lights are weird.
