@notjustbikes It's only their mentality of not paying taxes that's stronger than their mentality of not stopping. At least that's why I believe I get to stop 7 lanes of traffic with a beg button here to shuffle across a collector road, whereas back in the Netherlands there would have been an underpass so I'm not intimidated and the drivers are not annoyed.

If that's the reason it's penny wise pound foolish though with the opportunity cost of putting 7 lanes put out of business.
