I've been driving since 1977, and have never knowingly been through a light like that. Need to find and update my spreadsheet listing states visited and driven around in, it must be > 40. But haven't driven in Kali, either too young or just taxi and walking around downtown SF before it went awry.

If I had $1 for every light I've sat waiting out the timers to make a left turn with zero traffic going the other way . . . . Yes, even between midnight and 0500.

I think it’s because you and I live and probably either always or mostly have lived in the “sticks”, for me it’s always, but I like it that way.

For me an absolute horror story would be a cruise ship, 5,000 people stuffed into a boat, even or maybe especially a large one would have me breaking out in hives.

I just don’t like crowds. The traffic and congestion in Orlando for me is insane, I will only go near there if there is no other option, and I’m certain it’s Hicksville compared to what I have seen on the news about some of California. I did attend a class at the Navy base in San Diego years ago though and don’t remember the traffic being horrible.

Where I live the town has one traffic light, but it’s real close to “The Villages” in Fl, I could not live there, or like that.

Pics of new construction in The Villages, it’s not all like this, but even the nicer areas the houses are stacked on top of each other, the open areas are the golf courses etc.
