They can be quick and efficient but if traffic comes more from a certain direction then there can be huge build ups of traffic at the less busier entrances, generally in these cases they add part time traffic lights which often make the queues big at all of them [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img].

The more bizarre thing for me in the states was turning right through a red light if you did that over here (but turning left) you would get a ticket but I thought it was a good idea.

Yeah, the right turn on red is one of the best ideas ever invented, right up there with the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and washing your hands after you go to the bathroom.
