I'm also amazed that no one has analyzed how much the additional accelration needed after unnecessary stops is contributing to our greenhouse gas emmisions. Air polution from vehicles is directly related to acceleration, this is when most fuel is burned. So I would think traffic opptimization would be a climate change prevention activity...
