It used to be that an MPH or two under the speed limit would get one halfway across Denver without stopping for a light. That was a long time ago, though. I don't drive much these days. In Washington the traffic levels can be such that the best timing in the world won't set up a green wave. On the other hand, I do manage now an then to make it half a mile or so as a pedestrian without stopping for a light. (On 16th St. NW from U to Scott Circle, a saunter will hit all the lights green; a fast walk might do the same, but I seldom bother to try that.)
