> there are roads in my town where unless someone waits and yields to let someone on a side street turn onto or cross the main road, the person on the side street is literally going to be stuck until rush hour is over.

It’s my view that this is a failure in road design, and leaving it up to drivers to make up their own rules is dangerous.

Understood this is the status quo, but I wish more would be done to address these types of situations because they cause stress and accidents

I'm not sure what you do when you have a busy main street and lightly trafficked side streets (and driveways) that require people to make unprotected lefts. You're not going to put a traffic light on every country lane dead ending at busy road.
