I hate lights with a passion and would much prefer to see more round a bouts used in the U.S. I have become even more sensitive to this as i've been driving an manual a lot lately.
There is one light in-particular on my way to work which has always been a throne in my side. It has a bad habit of turning red for NO REASON at all. No other cars at this 3 way intersection and i'm on the main thoroughfare...no one hitting a pressure pad, no one coming the other way.....and it just goes red. WHY!!!!!
