This makes me wonder - does anybody think that the traffic control "experts" will ever get their act together and actually time traffic lights so that traffic doesn't have to stop every 1000 feet for a red one in some cities? This is a huge waste of energy and time, but localities love to use traffic signals as speed-control devices.
There were streets in Cleveland, Ohio, some 40 years ago that had timed traffic lights on them. Streets like Madison Avenue and Carnagie Avenue - you could drive 35 mph for several miles and always hit all the lights green. That should be the goal today, but it's not.
Hey everybody MILES O’BRIEN HAS A CIRRUS SR22!
Back when I was commuting from Brooklyn to New Jersey every day, I found that the lights on Canal Street in Manhattan were sync’ed for either 35 MPH or 70 MPH. If you got across the Manhattan Bridge before 5:58 AM, you could get across Manhattan an into the Holland Tunnel in 90 seconds. If you crossed the Manhattan Bridge after 6:00 AM, the traffic started backing up, and it would take you about an hour.
