One thing that illustrates the problem is the horrible "light-rail" system we have here. The light-rail crosses intersections and streets and frequently runs into car and people, and there have been fatalities. Read more about it on Google : https://goo.gl/XGjgV6

Lived in Texas for 7 years with many a visit to Houston and Dallas. Driving is the ultimate expression of the real Texas spirit, with Houston being the most exuberant. A red light at an intersection is occasion for honking your horn as you sail through. Pedestrians are hit because they don't have the good sense to get out of the way. From speaking with coworkers, Houston is basically Mumbai with a Southern accent and fewer cows in the middle of the road. The traffic is indescribably bad, but on the other hand, there is something exhilarating about feeling lucky to be alive *every* *single* *day*
