Traffic Light

Red, yellow, green, and a lot of honking.

Officially it's APILL, alat pemberi isyarat lalu lintas. Unofficially it's the most ignored object in Jakarta. Three lights, one pole, and the patience of every driver tested twice a minute. It became one of the most folded patterns on the old site, which says something about how much we stare at it.
