The thing, too, about our traffic is that development is done without consideration of traffic flow. As in, they'll build subdivisions/retgail establishments with traffic that ONLY empties out onto the traffic arteries. You don't have a grid beause the NIMBYs are powerful.
Another thing that makes the traffic kind of nasty is that very few lights are synchronized. Which creates unnecessary localized traffic jams.
