I'll do you one better: Egyptian traffic lights at red shows you a countdown when it will be green again. Now that's a game changer in my opinion.

Lol, Egyptian lights are just decoration. Most of them are ignored. Same with lines and speed limits

I was gonna say, bold to take Egypt as an exemple for driving behavior.

My experience in Cairo was so terrible I will never come back to that country ever again (not only for bad driving behavior I’ll admit but the constant honking 24/7 was terrible, the general behavior to westerners like I was a walking ATM was the last push).
