Doesn't ANYONE look ahead as they drive? 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.
