What's the deal with traffic lights in this city? Every single one is mistimed regardless of where it is in the city. From Downtown to Silverado Ranch and thousands of intersections in between and beyond, you cannot drive for more than .5 miles without getting caught at a light for a few minutes.

Also, what is the obsession with surface streets in this town? Why don't we have an East - West Freeway around Flamingo? Also we need a N/S expressway near Rainbow on the West and Eastern on the East side.

St Rose parkway should change it's name to Redlight Parking lot, same thing goes for Blue Diamond. How hard is it to make these roads elevated? I see it all over Houston/Dallas/Atlanta/LA/Phoenix etc.

This is totally unacceptable and makes driving around this town damn near impossible.

The city is very broke and had to contract out the job of traffic lights to the same outfit that does the sign at the Mirage. They don't like boring traffic lights that people can just drive through.
