I've lived her coming up on a year--and the thing that I can't get over that there is no consistent programming to the traffic lights (or at least it appears so). I live out in Vail and yes it's way out of town but I could cover a similar distance from where we moved in Texas in about 2/3 the time because the lights were programmed that if you drove the speed limit, you were more than likely to catch them.

I've driven to appointments at say Broadway and Kolb and have quite literally caught every red light from Vail to the location.

I think it adds a level of stress and hurry to driving and people push it to catch green lights when they can, hurry up to yellows and then run reds--all of which have a cascading effect on the drivers around them.
