Exactly, I haven't seen many areas that have decent sychronization in the first place. How about you guy's, is this true for you as well?
For example, Arlington County Virginia screams of how green concious they are, but their traffic lights seem to have little engineering designed to move traffic efficiently. When traffic sensors malfunction, it takes forever to address the issue, if ever.
OTOH Washington DC actually does a pretty good job with light syncing. They want to make sure drivers gain more speed between the lights, so they can feed those
hungry speed cameras.
