Boston's traffic lights

Via the 'Roads fit for people' campaign, comes this rather heartening email:

"Today's local paper says that the Liquorpond Street lights, turned off experimentally [last] year, are to be permanently removed. And about a mile away, at the other end of the inner by-pass, the lights at the Wide Bargate roundabout are to be turned off experimentally next month.

Perhaps Boston will become the nation's first traffic lights-free town! I'm old enough to remember the time when we had a traffic lights-free county, Cornwall."
