Ok . . . I’m back inside the Green Zone, so let the daily grading begin again!

There are no working traffic signals inside the Green Zone. Some were damaged during the invasion of the Baghdad, and some were damaged during the excessive looting following the fall of Saddam's regime. The few lights that appear to have survived these two incidents don't work for some unknown reason. Thus, each intersection is essentially a four-way yield. To help make sure no one races through these intersections, the U.S. military installed make-shift speed bumps using tank treads, which are laid out flat across the width of the roads.
