A stoplight (traffic light) located at the intersection of a VERY busy highway - and a local road in a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, where the highway passes through. The stoplight has EQUAL time at "red" (stop) on both the highway and the road. As a result, at rush hour, the highway traffic is backed up for miles, while there is few, if any vehicles on the local road. The locals don't care, but the traffic slowdown effects businesses, livelihoods and sanity in the bigger cities at either end of the highway.
(Driving to work) Aw man! There seems to be a traffic jam up ahead - oh wait...(looks at Google Maps)...it's just a Yokel Stoplight on this route. Should've took the interstate instead.

A local villager that doesn’t like ‘outsiders’ entering ‘their village’ usually believes in barmy stories that the authorities tell them, without applying any logical thinking or common sense. Enter the village at your own risk.
Lanky Yokel: Of course it’s possible for someone to drown in a shallow river and go unnoticed by ‘expert’ divers, sonar, sniffer dogs, drones, and members of the public for 23 days and of course it’s possible for an inaminate object to move against the tide.
Lanky yokel: it doesn’t mattet if a crime has been committed if the family are happy with the verdict.
