Why the hell were so many cities built on a grid with roads running North-South and East-West? With the East-West roads you get the blinding sun directly in front of you a lot of the time. If your workplace is east of home you get blinded in both the morning and evening commute.
All you have to do to solve this is rotate the grid 45 degrees. Now the sun is never directly in front of you. When it's low in the horizon it will dip behind trees and buildings on the side of the roads. Buildings following the street grid won't get no direct sunlight on the North and South facing windows and blasted on the East and West facing windows.
Why did nobody think of this when cities were being planned?
