> Some places the drivers are so polite to the point it really makes things dangerous

I live in a small town that has extra polite drivers. It was really confusing for a while. Eventually I realized that it was a practical response to the overall street layout, with a limited number of main streets, and different areas of town not being well connected. Stopping to let others cross improves the overall traffic flow - if no one did it, traffic would just be backed up for miles.
