The traffic lights don't really bother me but then I take the bus so I don't interact with them directly. The closest thing I can comment is I'm relieved the street crossing signals are bright enough even for summer days when the sun is high and you are viewing them at very tight angles. I gotta try going to the Elbekreuzung too then! I notice it is acceptably dark around Bahrenfeld. I got to take this last summer, during my first month here: https://flic.kr/p/2i7ML2V https://flic.kr/p/2i7ML2V . Not ideal for a photo--there's way too much ambient light pollution from the nearby apartments--but at least you could make out the stars, which is more than what I can say for other urban settings. (Maybe I should retry this shot with a narrower focal length, i.e., not fisheye.) Incidentally, the handful "nooks and crannies" I've been referring to as having almost no streetlight are all around Bahrenfeld.
