In the 1990s Newark mayor Sharpe James had all the traffic lights on Broad Street and McCarter Highway synchronized, the way they are in Manhattan or should I say were. Now they are no longer synchronized. I don't know if it was something that developed over time, or is it part of the stupid thing called traffic calming, which simply aims to create obstacles for drivers.

Traffic calming is fine. It just means slower speeds. And all speed limits in Newark is 25mph but people speed. What we have is not congestion and flagrant violation of traffic laws.
