That's why I think the SFPD (Traffic Division) gets off work at 4PM.
As they head for suburbia, they don't want to face the awful mess that
awaits the poor commuter does after 4:30. It's no fun, even on a motorcycle.

The one or two times a have seen a traffic cop, they seem to enjoy just
waving MORE traffic into the intersection. If they would hand out
citations to everyone blocking an intersection, they would be the second
organization in the PD that operated as a profit center.
