Among several changes we have noticed in Santa Cruz are the new traffic lights that you find at many major intersections. These are big bright signals with counters that show you how much time you have left until the cycle changes — so, if it’s red, how much time until it turns green, etc.
Even more amazing is that drivers *obey* them. Several taxi drivers have told us that they are a big improvement.
