Sounds cool.
You see, in Europe (I'm from Germany) the lights are mounted above or
behind the intersection.
Here, you pull up to the actual light (and then you can't see it), there,
you stop at a line, and the light is across the intersection from you, in
plain view. Very convenient.
Only problem: American tourists that want to pull up to the red light and
run through the busy intersection... :)
