Generally, good laws. Generally, nothing in there that a reasonably considerate person wouldn't abide by naturally. Unfortunately, actually writing the laws down and making it all "legal" does little to change behaviors. Mostly, all it accomplishes is a methodology to settle arguments over who is right and who is wrong, and even then it often doesn't work. Case in point, the poster who on another thread bragged that he/she refused to turn left at a blinking yellow arrow, even if he/she could clearly see no oncoming traffic. The law is written down, but that person refuses to abide by it. So, be careful, be patient. Try not to hurt anybody, and try not to get hurt.
