What is the best way/method for getting through the most signals without stopping?
Keep your speed at or slightly below the speed limit and you will have a far better chance of making most of the lights. If you drive too slow or too fast, you will be outside the green band (green band - is about a 30 second window that covers the cars in the platoon – the first car is at the one (1) second mark and the last car in the group is at the thirty (30) second mark).

8. Sometimes I have to wait almost 1-½ minutes (but can seem like 5 minutes) to get a green on a side street or a left turn even when there seems to gaps in traffic. Why?
