This may be the shortest green light ever. Yep, I’m pretty sure it is.

Ever get frustrated from lights that just can’t seem to stay green long enough for you to get through the intersection? Next time you feel bad about it, just remember this intersection in China and put a smile on your face.

It may just be the shortest green light in history. The red light lasts 72 seconds and then turns green for 1 second. Yep, you read that right — an entire second of green.

It might as well be considered a toll road, especially if they had a red light camera installed.

Even though this is ridiculous (and probably caused by an error or glitch), some lights in North America are pretty bad too, especially when driving a big rig.

Have you experienced frustratingly short green lights around your way? Let us know where, why, and how the heck you got by.
