I don't think this is possible even in the degenerate case of just one street with equally spaced lights. Suppose the speed limit is 45 MPH and the lights are set such that (once it gets synched up) a car going 42.5 MPH hits all green lights. A car going 40 MPH would eventually get to an intersection too late and thus see a yellow light, while one going 45 MPH would eventually get to an intersection too early and thus see a red one. True? True, but real cars never travel at precisely 42.500000MPH, do they? We do have stretches of road over here where the lights are supposed to be sequenced to give you a clear run once you're "in-sync" with the green; but it still relies on the drivers looking ahead and anticipating - if you see a red light ahead you should just have to ease off a bit to let it go green before you get to it |
