    Retired this year, got Tacoma, now I drive to "get out" of the house in this 2020 nightmare of a year. Sometimes I will drive 30-40 miles just for lunch.

    3 lights.
    The first one is to get on the highway (I can turn right on red, so I do).
    The second one is when I get off the highway (sometimes it's red, sometimes it's green).
    The third one is blinking yellow (it changes at 6 in the morning).

    I hear ya. Commuting sucks. Used to do 92 miles each direction. Hated it. Not sure what’s worse, 92 miles with no lights or 21 miles with 67 lights.

    Traffic plays a huge part. It backs up so far that it literally take 3-4 cycles of the light to get through the intersection.
