You haven't been to Winnipeg where every intersection is either a four-way stop or has traffic lights.
Hell, even our 'free-way' has a traffic light every 100 meters.

I give you one of Winnipeg's 'All-Way Stops': http://maps.google.ca/?ie=UTF8&ll=49.877297,-97.116855&spn=0.005075,0.009656&z=17
It's actually a massive 6-way stop where Enfield, Traverse, and Dubuc meet, combined with a fork.

Then there is always this:

Interesting stuff.  I'd like to see someone do a similar study on Keith Olberman and see how they stack up (unless someone can think of a better democratic analog).
