I love the stupid-arse fking red lights they put on freeway on ramps. Yep. That's efficient. Take a car coasting down the on-ramp doing 40 or 50, make them dead stop, sit there for a few seconds, then have them accelerate to 80 for no reason. Fking brilliant!

That and the non-timed lights. Double brilliant.

I wonder if anyone has seriously attempted to calculate how many billions (and I have no doubt its billions, with a "B") of dollars of fuel & time are wasted annually by stupid crap like this, not to mention just plain-old inefficiency.
