High contrast nightscape with light pollution. RT capture sharpening + gmic blend, enhance. Zoom and enjoy!

Dang, I’m jealous.
I’ve always wanted to capture a somewhat arial perspective intersection car trails with multiple left turns (oops, since this is not America, I guess turns across oncoming traffic is better).
Did the camera move at some point?
v2 of post #5. Less global contrast and more local. Zoom and enjoy!
It was on a tripod. You could read the green sign below the lamp.
I tried a more toned-down approach. So many different coloured light sources in this image. I gave it a slight (midnight) blue-ish tone. The reflection in the window, best seen in the top left quarter, is interesting to work around/deal with.
Nice challenge! Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking of doing a b&w at some point (I think it would be suitable for the image) but haven’t thought of how to approach it yet…
