I can't imagine that. Since as a 9 year old kid, I've lived in a small town with traffic lights at downtown corners with more and more traffic lights put up as the town grew and grew from 25,000 to 50,000 now

An urban area of 10,000-50,000 population.

The Goldilocks of population: rural areas have too few people, while Metropolitan areas have too many people.

There's no Micropolitan forum on City-Data, and probably not enough interest to sustain one.
