A couple hundred meters away from me, there's a piece of a two-lane two-lane road that has no traffic lights for a little over 1 km and has the priority of way, too - meaning that at night, you can get a somewhat high speed over there for a little while without leaving the city limits.

There's only a few bikers in my city, but holy shit do they make "good" use of the opportunity in summer. I really wish we also had this kind of cameras out there, because the noise from just one is insane, especially at dead of night, and sometimes they do this in packs.

The best part is that it never lasts once - they just speed between the two traffic lights for a while, making a shit ton of that noise.

There are also buildings with windows overlooking that same road from a much closer distance than mine. Can't really imagine what it's like for people living there, even though we're basically meters away from each other.
