I've found the left turn from 15th onto U Street to be a big clusterfunk. The turning signal is pretty short (maybe 10 seconds?) and invariably there's someone in the crosswalk after the left turn signal is on. Result? Cars not being able to turn left, backup into the left driving lane, cars scooting to the right and cutting off others, honking horns, etc.

I've found some of the other left turns off 15th Street to be quite dangerous, particularly at night, when there's a cyclist coming down the lane and I'm not sure if he/she is going to stop or try to get around me somehow.

Re: traffic signals - I was on way upper Wisconsin Avenue late Friday night. The signals were a total disaster, with each consecutive signal being a different color. Result? Cars were literally stopping at every single light from the Whole Foods to Friendship Heights.
