The worst light is one of the multiple lights right at the top of the park by the insanely wide crosswalk. I got a red light ticket here because it’s so easy to not notice multiple different lights every few car lengths

Hmm, I'm from Massachusets which is chock full of roundabouts. Didn't know the rest of the country hated them so.
