Eventually think about all cars having this function, all cars stopping at the same time on all red lights, I am not a scientist, but I am sure that would make a difference on pollution/emissions, and the gas savings returning in less gasoline usage.
My beef for 50 years has been towns that refuse to set their lights up in progressive linkage. Which means you stop at any of the early lights and then do the speed limit and cruise through most of the next upcoming 9 lights.


I can travel a 3 mile route to me daughters house and catch 10 lights along the way having to come to complete stop each time "and there is no cross traffic most of the time". But they can't install a sensor to keep light green, if no cross traffic.

But they can install money making red light cameras for millions. How much gas does that waste? How much asbestos brake dust has to be scattered into our air with each stop light?
