They take so long to change because if they didn't the old people would sit through them.
Don't let your mind wander too far. It's too small to be let out alone.

Hahahahahaha - I believe that! Made a long weekend seem like we spent it waiting for lights to change! :-)

You ought to be down here when it rains, wrecks everywhere.

We have them too over here in Holland :-\

Your (Dutch) problem is the bikes...thousands of the elephants'ers....working against any moving cars. I visited Hengelo and Enschade a few times...bikes everywhere. Demons on 2 wheels. Ken
Cycle lanes are dangerous. You turn right off a road, and some clown on a bike is coming up your inside at 20 mph! And YOU have to give way!

Traffic lights. :mad::mad::mad: Need I say more? If you have never driven there then this is meaningless to you.

California is worse if you ask me.

In Italy (we drive on the right side, you are from UK so you drive on the wrong - in facts the contrary of right is wrong) for some years roundabouts were to be traversed CLOCKWISE - which meant invading the opposite lane to access a roundabout. Then the traffic laws changed to the intelligent way, roundabouts are to be traversed COUNTERCLOCKWISE so everybody stays on its own lane. All right and good except that for 20 years elderly drivers took the roudabouts in the old ways and frontal collisions in roundabouts skyrocketed. Roundabouts have been the most dangerous road features in Italy for years and they still are in remote places where 90 years old drivers are common.

Even worse as a pedestrian (who might or might not have been on the :beer:) Cyclists assume they do not have to obey traffic laws

I was there 18 years ago. The drivers make Israeli drivers look good. :omg: Never again!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

That's an appropriate name for Enschede I think (means something like En-damaged) haha :) And I agree, bikers are rats on wheels !

Tips for driving in Italy: 1) At intersections, when you're clear to go, GO FOR FLOCK'S SAKE!! We aren't patient, at all; 2) Careful in roundabouts to the smartaxes who will enter even when you're already inside; 3) Careful in roundabouts to the smartaxes who will accelerate from 100 meters away to enter the nanosecond before you do; 4) Careful in roundabouts to the smartaxes don't know how to drive and will flank you from either side, or stop their car inside the roundabout and then shift to the rear gear because they missed their exit; 5) Pedestrians can and will jump out of nowhere with or without pedestrian crossings; 6) Don't honk if not absolutely necessary and you aren't ready to fight for dear life. Bonus: cyclists without mandatory lights and mandatory reflective jackets are the norm. Especially when it's dark. Even worse if they are 80+ years old and can't go straight even on a :elephant:ing rail.

Good information !

No way - was pleased to get back to a normal place with normal traffic lights after 3 days in krazy Florida.
