Ah, well, I know NYC supposedly times their lights or something so if you
go the speed limit you might get one red light and if not you'll get more.
Though lately there is one light on my way home I swear turns red for me
cause I am speeding ( I mean I come around the corner, it turns red, gives
the turn signal for people turning left from my direction even if no one
is there, doesn't let the cross street go, and then turns green. On the
other hand I like it better now cause it used to just be timed and in
the middle of the night if you got the red you were there forever instead
a few seconds).
