[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's too many cars for the amount of road capacity and/or poor road planning, along with the combo of cars playing Frogger, racing, and weaving through traffic at high speeds and the high/hungover/distracted/new drivers (who are not necessarily teenagers) in both the left and right lanes going 20 mph under the limit. Both of those extremes piss off the majority who are otherwise safe, normal drivers and are just trying to get from point A to point B in peace. So no one is happy and it shows.[/quote]

Just getting lights synced up would cut road rage. I'm very laid back, but when I hit 4 lights in a row on my way to work, I'm angry. The next person that cuts me off is getting the horn. I'm on the main road too, and the main road should have priority over side streets. [/quote]

Lights out of sync is a feature, not a fault, in some places (looking at you, City of Alexandria). It's a method of traffic calming i.e. no one can speed or run bicycles over if everyone is waiting through multiple light cycles and then inching along at 5 mph. Agree that it's also a prescription for road rage.[/quote]
