My town in Ireland (pop 30k) has scramble phasing on intersections. Ireland really doesn't go in for mixed phases anywhere (nor conflicting phases).

We'd generally be better off with most of the traffic lights in town being replaced by humped pedestrian crossings on the legs of roundabouts, except for the two major thru roads. But for some reason, the county council has been putting in signalized intersections (with ~12-16 light poles) for small, 30kph intersections (max one lane each direction).
