Congratulations UK!

3. Un-managed trafic lights. This is most annoying, you stop at a traffic light, it opens, and you stop immediatly at the next one. Why not do like most cities in Europe where in the main road, when one traffic light opens the ones ahead open accordingly so you go the whole avenue non-stop? Also in Europe (specially in Portugal) they have what they call smart lights, this are normal lights installed at minor streets that cross with major streets, the main street is always green, as long the minor streets have no cars waiting, this smart lights have sensors that can detect 3/4 cars in a queue waiting to go, what a nice idea.

In most US cities we have what you call "smart lights". They are very nice for large traffic days and slow traffic. If your driving around 3am when no one is on the road you hit almost every light at green because it knows your coming. And when its heavy traffic at rush hours the timing for each lane changes to the traffic.

I find it weird that London has bad roads... i would have thought they would have been nice since its such a world known city and its pretty big.

Yeah, but surely most people visiting won't be in cars?

Also, did you know the Olympic symbol (4 rings) is a Nazi invention, which is a slight contradiction on the whole peace meaning.  They faked an archiolloigical dig that discovered the Greek logo.

Got my facts slightly wrong but there are Nazi assosciations.

"Leni Riefenstahl, the Olympia filmmaker who also chronicled Hitler's rise to power, had the rings carved into a stone altar at the ancient Greek city of Delphi, spawning the myth that they were a symbol dating more than two millennia."
