  True only there is some relationship between the length of the cycle and
the time it takes to go from one light to the next at the intended speed.

  Most traffic lights have a 1 minute cycle.  If you have a light every
500 or 600 feet timed for 30 MPH, then it will be impossible to go any
faster for long.
