RRFBs. HAWK signals. Do any of these devices actually do what they're supposed to do, and how do traffic engineers decide when and where to install them?

As a European, much of this was mind-boggling to me. While I believe all of this is real, I still found myself wondering throughout the video: Is this actually the norm in the US, or are these some cherry-picked bad examples? It felt for me like a whole other level of systemic hostility.
These "boulevards" are properly called stroads and need to all be demolished.
I thought that's what the guy in the video said but I chalked it up me not hearing him right lol.
Never heard of stroads before. Thanks
Stroads are the abomination that happens when traffic engineers try to build a street and a road at the same time and end up with the drawbacks of both and the advantages of neither. Would you like to know more?
