Houston traffic
Arghhhhhhh the buses in Houston’s CBD really drive me insane, they are ALWAYS forcing their way across an intersection either just before or just after a light changes red when there isn’t enough room for them blocking one lane of traffic on Dallas St and the WHOLE pedestrian crossing. The most annoying thing is there is a Police station just down the road and plenty of cops standing around directing traffic lights (WTF is up with that anyway? Do you really need traffic lights AND a cop to direct traffic? I also can’t believe how many times I see police manually controlling the traffic lights over here…) but none of them do anything of course.
It is also quite annoying how all the cars over here especially the SUV’s think it’s their God given right to have right of way over pedestrians no matter what, if they want to turn right on a red and prevent pedestrians from crossing the street when the pedestrians have the “Walk” symbol they damn well will.
While I’m on this rant, how many of you people who rush when a light turns amber/orange/yellow to make it through also go as soon as a light turns green? Do you know simple math? It doesn’t take a genius to work out what will eventually happen…
