We should be creating and maintaining infrastructure so that it aids the
flow of traffic, not works against it, and doesn't require you to slam on
your brakes to avoid running a red light. However, we're instead doing
things to create revenue in the name of safety.
And if you really want to work on a conspiracy, perhaps some of this is
being influenced by those who want to make automobiles as inconvenient and
expensive as possible in order to further their own agendas.
