Speaking of intersections, anyone noticed how there's increasingly traffic lights where they aren't really needed? Like to get in/out of a shopping center, minor neighborhood main streets that really shouldn't need one - like oh a couple cars might be in line there waiting for a break etc?
I'm 100% positive this is deliberate, to slowly erode efficiency/increase annoyance with driving etc.
(In the Denver area, every municipality I've driven in enough to confirm the trend also times the lights that if you go at or near the speed limit - e.g. 5-over industry standard - you WILL get stopped eventually. You have to speed enough to get a decent ticket - about 15 over does it - to keep hitting the greens. And Denver has THE WORST yellow-light abusers/runners - often well into the red - of anyplace I've lived. I warn people new here about this specifically, it's so bad. So this also has to be 100% deliberate.)
