I lived in a town for a long time where almost all the traffic lights were timed for maxium efficiency and traffic flow with traffic sensors built into the road surface. Going to other cities where all the lights are on a simple timer is infuriating. I have to waste a bunch of time idling when there is no cross traffic.
