"But that's a moot point if the light isn't there in the first place."

When I said "traffic light" I meant the entire set of traffic lights of the intersection. You can't have just one lane without traffic light and all the others with. It would be highly confusing, also probably against the road laws.

The point of the traffic light taking precedence over road sign is actually part of the rules of the road. It is also required knowledge for driver exams.

Of course you can.

Why?

Laws can be changed. The fact that "it's the law" is a stupid reason to keep doing something that doesn't otherwise make sense. Germans of all people should understand this. (And BTW, I am German.)
