Now that takes some skill. Especially when you're in Canadia, which uses metric, so that 100 cars are longer.
I don't know how long I can hold a track stand, but a minute is probably my max. I started at a red light when cross traffic had a white walk sign, then, before long, the count-down started at 30 seconds. I was going to give up at that point, but felt stubborn, and held it until the light turned. I felt pretty good about myself until I learned that people up north are waiting out trains.
