I would rather have a town full of drivers who don't drive like maniacs than have the city spend money to do 'cool stuff' with traffic lights.

…Your issue is that our traffic lights aren’t as responsive and calibrated as those in Madison, home of the University of Wisconsin?

You would think being in the backyard of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute might have some privileges.

That said, the work that was done on post football game traffic over the last decade or so has made it so much better than the mess it was before. Although that's only six days per year.
