So IOW it's not so much that Dresden is one of those cities with American laws but that they make more use of that German (originally East German) law that is these days commonly made use of throughout all parts of Germany even though Dresden still features them more prominently?
Sorry for nitpicking but your first post read like Dresden had special traffic laws and green arrows were rare outside a handful of cities (plus AIUI the green arrow has slightly stronger implications in the US).

- brd529 10y agoAll the time. It's a surefire way of pulling over someone from out of town. My first ever memory of being pulled over was visiting NYC. My dad was driving and got pulled over. The cop said: "no right on red in New York City!" - a phrase that is now burned into my memory.
- JackFr 10y agoOccasionally it will be screamed at you by pedestrians in Manhattan when you edge out and block the crosswalk.
