Electrically powered traffic signals alternately command traffic to stop and go. There is a common misperception that traffic lights are the solution to all intersection traffic issues. But will traffic lights solve all crossroads traffic problems? At junctions, signals provide the most control. They communicate both what to do and what not to do. The fundamental purpose of every traffic signal is to assign right of way to conflicting traffic movements at a junction by allowing conflicting traffic streams to use time separation to use the same crossroads. Signals ensure the orderly passage of competing flows by alternately establishing the appropriate way to various traffic movements. They may interrupt heavy traffic to allow minor crossing movements that would otherwise be impossible to complete safely through the junction. Traffic signals, when correctly timed, boost the capacity of intersections to handle traffic. Additionally, when installed in conditions that justify its usage, it is a beneficial device for increasing the safety and efficiency of both pedestrians and vehicle traffic. Signals, in particular, have the potential to minimize some kinds of casualties, most notably angle collisions. Although many individuals realize that traffic signals can reduce the number of angle collisions at an intersection, few people think that traffic signals can also cause an increase in other types of accidents.

By adding signs, for example, rear-end accidents frequently rise. Since there is no angle accident issue at a junction, there is nothing to trade off, thus installing traffic signals might deteriorate overall safety at the crossroads. Needless to say, correctly timed traffic signals offer several benefits. They are not, however, a "cure-all" for traffic congestion.

Schools should implement uniforms as the only acceptable form of dress and allow students to modify it on a small scale. School uniforms provide several advantages, including fewer dress code violations, avoiding fights and muggings, sexual offences, disciplinary referrals, and a better learning environment. Yet, with all their benefits, implementing school uniforms has negative sides. School uniforms have a tendency to boost a student's sense and value of community. They would see one another in the same way, despite any background differences. They would unify for meaningful causes and encourage each other more academically instead of tearing each other down emotionally, because of clothing trends. Schools have the means to provide a stimulating environment, where their students would have to behave and perform without being able to control what they wear. Uniforms might help to reduce behavioral issues in schools; certain situations reveal that female students are disproportionately targeted and sent for disciplinary action for revealing too much skin.

Meanwhile, some people say that they should encourage their children to be expressive and to explore their creativity. If we force every student in schools to wear clothing that is boring and extremely starched and ironed, this is the wrong way to encourage that. Uniforms can be very expensive for some families, it would be inconsiderate for schools to put this financial strain on a lot of the families that send their kids to school. There may also be a number of dress code violations similar to the ones that occur in schools with a uniform policy, but it wouldn't be on the same scale. A student who wants to speak out against animal cruelty may recruit a gang of brothers to support their campaign and buy shirts with the slogan "Stop Killing Our Animals". School administrators could step in and order those students to change their shirts, no harm done and the impact of their actions will be felt throughout the school.

So far, implementing school uniforms becomes a dilemma for some people. Needless to say that implementing school uniforms is a useful policy. Nevertheless, it discourages students' expression and creativity.
