Here's a blog post comparing how traffic signals are controlled in Toronto and in the Netherlands.

It is truly amazing how bad our signals are. And I also mean locally within the region.

This is what happens when you only measure one metric, and a pointless one at that...basically, we measure LOS, which is how the signal operates at peak hour for cars only. And there is also only one playbook..."LOS < desired LOS, add lanes or convert to roundabout".
