Actually, if you didn't notice, MM's traffic light syste, is a bit peculiar.
Normally, there should only be two sets of traffic lights, one for roads
haeading N/S and the other for raods heading E/W, for example. In MM, on the
other hand, each intersection has FOUR traffic lights, one for each
direction! So if it is green light for cars heading West, then cars heading
North, East, and South would be stopped at a red light. And the programmers
to only allow ~15 seconds for cars in N/W and S/W to move (that's 30 seconds
total for the whole light cycle), but is divided between each direction, so
the green light stays on for about 7 secons while everyone waits about ~+15
seconds for the whole green light cycle to complete. Really, really odd
traffic light system, made it very unnecessarily complicated and unreal...
realistic traffic dynamics in midtown madness is probably a bit too much.
