Mendenhall and 7th if you're on Mendenhall. The light will be red for about five minutes.

Also Baxter and 19th which loves to turn red on you even if there is no one else within a mile radius.

-The traffic light that's on the turn to get to everything you need to get to and often with a limited amount of time left

Ex. I only had a few minutes to get to school because I set my alarm to PM instead of AM like a dote. Had to wait for this friggin' thing to change for well over five minutes and ended up late to home room. Same thing happened when I had to catch a train and matters were made worse because I got stuck behind a slow ass truck.

This is also the same light that you must wait for if you want to get to the Post Office or CVS to get a prescription before they close.

College and Drake.
College and Harmony.
College and Horsetooth.

College and any mothersmurfing intersection.

From 7am to about 8pm, it has rush hour-like traffic. The lights are of spontaneous lengths without any logic behind them and absolutely nobody who drives on it knows how to drive at all. The worst thing is that you have to use it, either by crossing it or driving on it to get anywhere in this god damn city.

But at night it is glorious because absolutely nobody is on it.

North Salisbury and Dagsboro: I have to make a left turn at this light most days and it is often a pain. The light's very long to begin with, and if there's any traffic you might not even get through the intersection in one left turn signal.

After reading this thread, I realized there aren't traffic lights in Esthar and Zanarkand. Be careful when traveling there people! :(

Barneson and El Camino Real. I have clocked seven minutes waiting for that fucking thing to turn green so I can make a left.

Cicero Avenue. Just the whole stretch that I take from work to home. I could do other ways, but they are slower or have construction on it.

Proctor and Beneva. The cycle takes about three minutes and at least two minutes of that (I have timed it repeatedly) are for Beneva traffic going straight. This is despite the fact that Proctor is one of the busier east-west routes through town.

Honore and Bee Ridge can be pretty awful too, though I don't think it's quite as bad. Still, Honore traffic doesn't get nearly enough access.

Cattlemen and Bee Ridge is also terrible, but at least it allows traffic going all directions about equal access.
