1. Some years ago I did a road trip from Toronto to Vancouver. In Ontario, a flashing green light at an intersection means you have a protected left turn or go straight. Although I think this has mostly been phased out to arrow direction traffic lights. Flashing green lights in Vancouver means it's a pedestrian controlled intersection. Like a crosswalk but at an intersection. It was much to my surprise when I got flashing green light to go straight when the oncoming traffic drove straight too. Good thing I didn't turn left.
2. In Chicago, there are some traffic light intersection that has folded stop signs. I think these are neat. In Ontario, if a traffic light goes out, it's considered a four way stop intersection. But a good number of drivers don't really follow that.
3. South Korea's highway speed camera has an unintended issue. Most of the map apps and car navigations know where they are and they'll notify the driver approaching the cameras. Family member would drive at 200 km/h then brake down to 80-100 km/h to pass the camera, then accelerate back up to 200. The thing is, I saw a lot of other drivers were doing the same thing. Shit scared me because of the variation of speeds other people were going.
