Can I make it through a whole line of timed red lights without getting stopped by a red one?
Yes, in a perfect world that’s possible. What usually happens in light strings such as you mention is that you will get 3-4 of them on green, and then get caught in a red, then a few more green, and so on depending on the length of the traffic light string. The detection systems are turned off during certain hours and the traffic signal lights are timed using formulas for traffic engineers. What cannot be computed is driver lag time – the time between car #1 accelerating away from a red light and car #2, then #3, and so forth. I’m sure you’ve been behind people who let 100′ of space come between them and the vehicle in front of them before they start out. The link below is to a site which has lots of traffic signal information, and they sell a legal everywhere traffic light changer – I have one on each of my vehicles – very cool – especially on my motorcycles. I hope this helps you out.
