Where I live, there can sometimes be insane wait times for red lights. Just endless streams of cars, which can suck especially if you're trying to make a left turn at a busy intersection. Everybody else gets priority over you, and it's quite possible that the lights will go through several cycles before it finally gets to you. Five-minute waits are not unheard of in this area, but do other people have different tolerances for waiting at red lights? ---
