You'll be waiting at a red light for what seems like at least five minutes (which is really an eternity for a traffic light), have it turn green for fifteen seconds, and be unable to proceed because the section of road in front of you is completely full and waiting for their own traffic light to turn green.
I can't believe there haven't been more road rage incidents at these intersections.
Every time I have to traverse these asphalt minefields, I'm sure I'm shaving a day off my life expectancy. Which is troubling, considering that my drive to and from work routes me through this twice a day.
Of course, with all the construction going on in Vancouver right now in anticipation of the 2010 Winter Olympics, these intersections are becoming competitive:
- Cambie and 2nd Ave.
- Cambie and Broadway.
