Bad city drivers in San Francisco - Sirens, confusing intersection and lots of honking

Some older footage of a notoriously confusing intersection in San Francisco - Market, Stockton and Ellis St's is a very amusing place to sit and watch the action of big city life. People are constantly daydreaming at green lights, don't go when they're supposed to and hesitate. This causes lots of honking horns from taxi cabs. This 5-point intersection is designed oddly, which adds to the confusion. It's also a hub of nearly constant firetruck and ambulance traffic, as Market St. is a main thoroughfare. If I didn't know any better, I would think I was in Manhattan.

There are also a bunch of intersections like this in LA. I've been down there and man its nerve racking! Good thing my dad was driving and not me. Ive also been up there to San Francisco. Same up there. I'm glad I live in a small town rather than the city.

[bwelmhouse1]

@repeatman Yes, me too. But our little "town" here in Napa is quickly becoming big city-like. Lots of horn "bait" around here. lol
