And what about pedestrians? Are they getting fucked over as always or does this Goolag shite include people with functioning legs as well?
Assuming that Goolag is a US business, I guess it probably doesn't... You know what would solve emission problems in the big cities, though? Getting rid of private cars and instead investing in busses, trams and subways. Trying to "cure" the symptoms won't get us far if the main problem still persists.
I feel like you're conflating two separate issues. If you want to "get rid of" cars and replace them with public transportation then you have a mighty big task in front of you and, in my opinion, that has nothing to do with optimizing traffic lights to minimize pollution due to idling. As for pedestrians I imagine it would be the same as it is now. If you think they could improve it then you ought to consider contacting the development team maybe they can answer your questions or implement some of your ideas.
