Man it's gotta be the crossroads and intersections
I haven't been in it myself, but the horrors I've seen...
It's worth waiting an extra second after green-light, just to make sure you'll not be T-boned.
They changed the lights here so that when one road goes red then it'll wait 2-3 seconds for the cross traffic. Problem is that everybody knows this so it's almost a guarantee that someone will run the red light. Usually it's 3-4 if in busy areas. I've seen hundreds of times where our light will go green and still 3 more cars blow through. Which means that light has been red for them for a good 5 seconds. Longer than most yellow lights.
