Very scary as a pedestrian around there, drivers are so reckless and unpredictable

As someone who has to suffer driving through there occasionally, it sucks for drivers too. The problem is the traffic flow there is way too complex. There's frequent congestion, you're constantly dealing with lane changes, merges, and tight turns. Throw in pedestrians, bike traffic, and the occasional moped. There can be a lot going on at once to divide ones attention.
