And late at night those on timers just make you sit..But you KNOW the minute you run it, even if no traffic around for miles, the cops will be right on you..every time.

And you wait and wait so long that the driver in front of you falls asleep and you have to honk to wake him/her up then wait another signal change.

And the other peeve is the drivers who don't know better to pull into the intersection to make a left turn. They wait on the white line, letting traffic back up, until the signal turns yellow, then they slowly turn through the intersection and you have to wait all over again.

I got one of those yesterday!! It was my daughter driving my car to work. She tried to tell me it must be a mistake, but there it was with a close up of the tag number and a little video. $125 dollars!!!

Yes there is the one light that seems to be in several places whenever I am in a hurry. I try to tell myself it will keep til I get there.
