In America, we have another oh-so-creative option: shoot the damn traffic cams.
To the best of my knowledge it hasn't happened yet, but it could if people got irritated enough.
There is a busy intersection about halfway between my old job and home with a light that's timed differently than another one that's a few hundred yards away. The reason? A bridge between the two lights seperates two counties, who have been fueding over a few things in the area. One county made the delay longer on their side just to piss off the other county.
Why am I telling this story? Because a couple got mad enough to shoot the traffic lights on the side which had the longer delay. I cheered because I was one of many people forced to sit at the light for MINUTES while no traffic goes the other way.
