When I am driving in an area where the lights are closer together, I have developed a technique that seems to work better than any other I've read.
I imagine a line on the road halfway between me and the light, and act as if I am stopping at that line. I constantly revise that line so it is always half way between me and the light. I scrub off more speed earlier, and have the most chance of maintaining some momentum through the light. It's a nice form of cadence braking.
Then, when the light goes green, I take my mental note of how stale the next light is, and either continue coasting to the next light, or cadence accelerate to a line half way between me and the next light.
Sounds complicated in writing, but very simple to do.
Well, that's what I do, anyway.
