Or, you can live in a city like Irvine, with very expensive 'smart'
controllers on the traffic lights. They will optimize them for 'one
direction' of travel, which basically means that the other direction
WILL STOP AT EVERY POSSIBLE LIGHT!
Also, I have found out that they sometimes INTENTIONALLY schedule two
lights to stop all the drivers. Seems, they didn't want it to be TOO
convenient to zip through town. They wanted folks to go around if they
weren't intent on shopping there...

Or like Phoenix... turn off the left-turn-arrow functions during rush
hour.
"Traffic engineer" is an oxymoron.
