Yeah if people really want road trips to be over quickly they should just drive below ticketable speed and keep moving. Going 10% faster on the highway for an hour is easily canceled out by a single stop.
Within cities, driving even 20% faster routinely results in literally no improvement in transit time because you still catch the same red lights at the same times, but burn more fuel between them.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWhen I was a kid, there was this smaller town we went through somewhere in the midwest. It had signs that said "traffic lights are synchronized for 25 MPH". Once you figured out that they were telling the truth, you drove 25[1]. If you didn't, you hit every light red. [1] Or at least most people did. We still saw at least one vehicle jackrabbit out of a stop, get up to 35, and then hit the next red light. Over and over. Sigh...
