When sitting at DC traffic lights in the summer a fast rising temp needle has always been standard on my 122. Not the most glamorous solution, but revving the engine a bit while stopped keeps the coolant flowing/fan turning and is almost always enough to maintain a safe temp. If you are idling for long periods of time in hot weather an electric push fan may be worthwhile.
