Where I live there's a diamond interchange between two state highways controlled only by stop-signs at the end of the off-ramps towards the smaller of the two.
Near that interchange there is a neighborhood. For whatever reason, both sides of the neighborhood have traffic lights, so when traffic is heavy, if you want to go from the larger to smaller highway (particularly if you want to turn left!), it's far more expedient to cut through the neighborhood.
