In the 1970s I lived in Vancouver. I remember distinctly in 1973 driving through a major street in Burnaby. In those days the speed was listed in miles/hr. There was a sign that stated "Traffic lights timed at 30 m/hr. I drove at 30 m/hr and hit all the green lights for miles. How did they do this in 1973 and we can't do it today?
You asked 'How did they do this in 1973 and we can't today'. My point was that if you're able to drive 30 mph, there isn't a traffic flow issue. A lot has changed in 50+ years, obviouslyThis is why I rarely post anymore. I ask a reasonable question and someone does not answer the question, and instead states the obvious. Then, when said poster is called out for his obvious post, he becomes defensive.
Timed lights.
They still have those.
We just rarely have the traffic flowing at a speed that lets you catch the timing and there hasn't been a way to dynamically adjust. (Which, presumably, the new lights will do.)
