This was started by Matt Ginsberg in Eugene, Oregon, (maybe a decade ago) who figured out tapping into the City's Traffic management Center. The whole story is here: www.digitaltrends.com: Stop wasting gas in the city with the app that knows when traffic lights will change

DuckDuckGo also shows some effort by Google called Green Light:
Wow!
Lets take this a step further:

How many times have you been stopped at a red traffic light, looking left and right and not a crossing car in sight!
If you never had to stop in the 1st place because the traffic lights are all aware of the fact that there's no crossing traffic etc...
We would all save millions of liters of gas!
And time!
In fact traffic lights would be way superior to stop streets.

The world has the tech to do this already.
This not only deserves it's own thread, it deserves a campaign where we all INSIST on it's implementation!
