Here in the land of the eternally mellow government employee (can't be

much different than D.C.), the light can be green for 3 - 5 seconds before
anyone even THINKS about moving. If you're 20 cars back, it can be three
changes of the lights.



That was one thing that I really remember, that made a strong impression on
me, in Paris. When the light changes, the first car and the 20th car all
step on the gas! It was like formation driving. Everyone left at once, and
held the 3 foot interval, until you were through the light. Then, and only
then, did you increase the following distance!
