I think areas with less pedestrian traffic in this city have actual working buttons, but downtown is all automated. It's also just a city of 50,000 so not huge. We also have two major bottlenecks during morning and supper time traffic when everyone goes to and leaves work since there's a river running through the middle of the city and two major bridges crossing it. But unless it is snowing when you try to get to work/home, the traffic is only backed up severely for about half an hour, and only on the main roads. There are usually several ways you can go that literally bypass the traffic and get you on the bridge sooner, but most people just don't know them.

Yeah, can't tell I've done a lot of driving at various times through this city.
