I wouldn't over-analyze it - people here seem both uniquely retarded and have something stuck in their ass at the same time. Very annoying, I've never lived someplace where it was like this.

Yeah curves are part of the problem but it goes way beyond that as plenty of Denver doesn't have them (though they don't help where they are, I-25 thru downtown is esp bad).

Oh, the other thing the retards can't do here is merge, everyone has to slow down to near stop instead of merging to freeway speed, so there's a damn clog at every on/off ramp set that only sort of clears up by the next one.

Like I say, I don't know if it's the thinner air or what, but it's just dumber than shit here.

Edit: the ONE thing I can say is at least people are FINALLY figuring out that with less cops they can do what should have been done all along, which is at least have a faster flow over the limit instead of under it, though it doesn't take much to wreck that (see above) once traffic is slightly heavy/blobbed. AND of course it exacerbates the stop/go effect once there is slowdown because everyone speeds up AS FAST AS THEY CAN to fill an opening gap in front of them (see "ebb and flow") so it just repeats.

Oh and people here can't turn right on red either, esp when THERE IS A MERGE LANE SEPARATE FROM OTHERS FOR THEM TO TURN INTO. Seriously 10% of people can do this right. And, further, the few that do often WAIT INEXPLICABLY TO DO IT ANYWAY.

But they will run yellow lights even well into the red, that's also the national sport here. Anyone moving here or driving through is advised to treat green light as "make sure it's ok before you go" because it may well not be.

I said don't get me started....
