The dutch would rather live in a civil society than rely in electronic signals to mediate their conduct. To that end they have done away with (almost all) traffic lights and replaced them with courtesy. Everyone seems happier as a result. The idea seems that since people can’t rely on pretty lights then they take more care and travel more safely. They also save on electricity, maintenance resources, light pollution, signal saturation and end up having a generally more courteous community.
