telegraph intersection

A traffic intersection that, because of a lack of a protected turn and the flow of traffic, only lets one vehicle through per cycle of lights.
That guy up there is turning left and the light just turned green, by the time he turns, it'll be red again. I hate telegraph intersections.

Murphy's Intersection Law

When there's a four-way stop sign intersection a quarter mile ahead of you with no cars in it, that suddenly has cars converging from all sides at the same as you, making it impossible to discern who's supposed to go, and making a hazardous situation.
I had a bad case of Murphy's Intersection Law driving home. No one knew who was supposed to go, and we all crashed into each other.
